My Gameplay: PEACE, GLASS, WRATH, FOAMY, HAIKU, KHAKI

HAIKU saved my tuoockus! I’d write one right now if I could remember how. It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten! It has a certain number of lines and rhymes if memory serves me correctly. Perhaps it’s an activity I can aim to achieve before lunchtime. It’s Sunday and I really want to go back to bed. No judgment on what you choose to do with your day. I’m not CLOTHES-minded! —M

HUNKY

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: You can’t have it BUFF ways!

Image source: Giphy

My Gameplay: SWEAT, LIGHT, HUMOR, HUNKY

My thought going into my word choices was that I only wanted to play positive and meaningful words. It somehow feels as though I was rewarded for it by having an easy solve, but sanity requires one to stay cognizant of reality in a forum where imagination and pretend is more enjoyable. Enjoy your Saturday!

LABEL

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: STICKER fork in puzzle #419 because it’s solved!

Image source: Pixabay.com

My Gameplay: PEARS, YOUTH, FLING, LACED, LABEL

It was a promising start, but a grind to the finish. The A & E are standard vowel choices so I would assume most of you found them early on. Double L’s and a B were key and unfortunately aren’t present in my opening word choices. TGIF everyone! On to tomorrow!

GLEAN

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Does it DERIVE you crazy when you can’t find the last letter?

Image source: Giphy.com

My Gameplay: SWEAT, FLOUR, PLEAD, CLEAN, GLEAN

I thought for sure I had it nailed with CLEAN! And I sort of chuckled a bit to myself as I was keying it in because that’s what I spent a majority of the day doing. The G wasn’t on my mind as we tend to see it a lot as either a suffix (-ing) or as a final letter. Enjoy your Thursday, folks. On to tomorrow!

PATTY

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: There was no PORTION me around today!

My Gameplay: PEACE, STORM, WINDY, PATTY

I’m sure a lot of you were thinking what I was thinking — that the answer you were about to enter wouldn’t be a nickname! And if bbthere are any folks out there actually named Patty, I sincerely do apologize for my ignorance. And then I thought, gee, it’s technically a noun too but they’re just too close that the creator of the puzzle wouldn’t confuse us like that? Then I tried it, but not before crossing my fingers! And it worked. Nothing but green. On to tomorrow!

UNFIT

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: You’re INFIRM a real treat with this puzzle!

My Gameplay: SWEAT, BLURT, UNFIT

The letters were in full so I went ahead and tried my guess and it worked. Hardly ever do I get so lucky! As I stated many times before, my strategy is to not focus too much on solving it, but rather eliminate as many letters as possible before engaging your noggin. YMMV. On to tomorrow!

SMEAR

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: There’s no STAIN in bed on a Sunday!

My Gameplay: SWEAT, SPEAR, SHEAR, SMEAR

Woulda, shoulda coulda. Hardly ever do I not play SWEAT, and today 3-tiles flip in my favor and I still couldn’t solve it until the fourth try. Just my luck! Honestly, I had SMEAR in my head for my second attempt but my other plays sounded safer. On to tomorrow!

ALIEN

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: There’s no CONSTELLATION prize for those that didn’t get it!

My Gameplay: PEACE, STEAR, ALLEY, ALIEN

There were three vowels in today’s solve which most likely helped a lot of you. Even more so if you were able to place them in their respective positions. My second guess was an attempt at finding their locations which isn’t the greatest tactic when you’re first solving the puzzle. My method is to eliminate as many letters first before hunting around. On to tomorrow!

BUGGY

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: For some, the remaining letters probably made NUISANCE at all!

Image source: Pexels.com

My Gameplay: SWEAT, DRINK, MOGUL, BUGGY

If I had to guess, I’d say most people will either solve this in six tries, or not at all. That’s just my two cents even though you never asked. It all due respect though, the Wordle solution on Friday has been a bit trickier and we should’ve known it was coming. All of the letters in the solution, sans the Y if all the other vowels didn’t work, were not my typical choices. YMMV. The way I solved today’s was when the L in MOGUL didn’t work. I was checking for an -LY suffix which didn’t end up being there. I knew the U wouldn’t be in the first or last spot so I assumed it’d be UG. Here’s where it get’s interesting. The focus of today’s Jumble cartoon puzzle just happened to be about mosquitoes so I still had bugs on my brain. No pain in the neck for me. On to tomorrow!

YOUTH

DEFINITIONETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: What LAD you to look for the answer?

Image source: Pexels.com

My Gameplay: PEACE, MOUTH, YOUTH

Silly luck is all it was for me today! I saw OUTH while looking at the remaining letters and figured I’d give the M a whirl. It popped into my head, and just like that the game was complete.
Sometimes I don’t know which I dislike more — a laborious brain-bender or the gimme’s. Who am I kidding? It’s the Wordle and I enjoy each and every one just the same. On to tomorrow!
