EXTOL
Pun Play: HAIL never give up.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, GLYPH, MOTEL, EXTOL
Playing the “X” sooner never occurred to me. To my credit, it’s one of the misfit letters (Q,Z, and X) that aren’t in many words. Hopefully it wasn’t an issue for you. Happy Thursday. On to tomorrow!
LLAMA
Pun Play: I solved it HAUL by myself.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, BLANK, LLAMA
I knew there were repeating letters in there somewhere when using up all the vowels didn’t get me anywhere. What really caught me by surprise was the fact that there was a set of 2 repeating letters. Have a happy hump day Wednesday. On to tomorrow!
ROWDY
Pun Play: Throw HOLLER stuff away.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, LOFTY, BREAD, ROWDY
It took a few minutes but it eventually came to me. Have a terrific Tuesday. On to tomorrow!
ISSUE
Pun Play: I will never GIVEN.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, GREAT, ISSUE
These 3-guess solves are a treat. My gameplay has been to eliminate all the vowels on the boarad asap. It’s worked rather well for 2 out of the 3 days I’ve tried. Wishing you a magnificent Monday. On to tomorrow!
LOUSY
Pun Play: I BADDIE can beat you.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, SOUND, HOUSE, JOUST, LOUSY
The answer to today’s puzzle is how I feel about my guesswork. I knew it was either JOUST or LOUSY, but I chose wrong. Wishing you all a sunny Sunday. On to tomorrow!
MATTE
Pun Play: She’s LUSTER mind.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, DRAWN, BALMY, MATCH, MATTE
This one was a grind to get started. When my first guess came up empty handed I knew I was in it for the long haul. My solve probably would’ve been a guess or two quicker had I caught onto the fact that the duplicating letter could also be a vowel as opposed to the consonant that I was desperately attempting to suss out. It never even crossed my mind. Have a super Saturday everyone. On to tomorrow! 
FELON
Pun Play: He took much LARCENY was asking.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, FLYER, FELON
It’s a PIOUS of cake when you’ve got 4 out of 5 tiles by your second guess. TGIF! The weekend is finally here. Enjoy yours. On to tomorrow!
KNELL
Pun Play: How long TOLL we depart?
My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, EXCEL, JEWEL, KNEEL, KNELL
This one took FOREVER to solve. After my 2nd guess I knew there were repeating letters, but I didn’t wind up finding them until the very end. Hopefully your solve went a little smoother. Have a terrific Thursday. On to tomorrow!
KEFIR
Pun Play: It was UDDER mayhem.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, MEATY, BEING, DEVIL, EERIE, KEFIR
If I wasn’t a foodie I’d probably not have been able to successfully complete this one. What a midweek brain drain that puzzle was. Have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday. On to tomorrow!
NOMAD
Pun Play: RURAL going shopping together.
My Gameplay: POISE, DRUNK, NOMAD
Eliminating the majority of the vowels in my first and second guesses has really improved my solve rate. Hopefully my streak continues. May your Tuesday be trouble free. On to tomorrow!
