VISUAL DESCRIPTION: Why COLT I not solve it sooner?

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, DIRTY, FIFTH, CLUMP, BOINK, PINTO

The month of July sure got off to a rocky start! When no words came to mind near the end I started playing words from the remaining letters in a “Hail Mary” attempt at discovering letters. It wasn’t pretty, but it worked. TGIF everyone. On to tomorrow!

HUTCH

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: We’ve gotta DRAWER the line somewhere!

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, TOXIC, CHURN, BUTCH, DUTCH, HUTCH

When will I learn to listen to Momsie when she says there’ll be double letters soon! After BUTCH and DUTCH, none of the remaining letters made sense. Then I saw the H and realized it should’ve been a quick finish. Oh well. On to tomorrow!

GAWKY

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: CLUMSY me work my magic!

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, GAWKY

TAKE THAT SWEAT! For those of you just tuning in for the first time today, I’ve been using SWEAT as my opening guess for almost a week now. It got me squat yesterday, but it totally redeemed itself today — and then some! Truthfully, there weren’t a whole lot of words that I could think of that have a W in the middle. GAWKS would have been my next play had I not already used the S. Let’s hope my good fortune spills over into my real life today. On to tomorrow!

RETRO

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: What’s REVERSE that could happen?

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, TRIBE, ROUTE, RETRY, RETRO

If you haven’t been following this blog, I’ve decided to try SWEAT as my opening word over the weekend and was quite successful with it. Today? Not so much. But it’s Monday so maybe I should pick a new one. Any suggestions? Oh, and Momsie hasn’t been sleeping well so we wish her a good night’s rest. On to tomorrow!

RUSTY

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: NAILED it!

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, TRIPS, RUSTY

Happy Sunday everyone! SWEAT is quickly becoming my new favorite starting word. After my second guess this morning, the remaining letters made the solution easy for me to spot for some reason. Wishing you all a lazy rest of your weekend. On to tomorrow!

BEADY

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: Do I sense an OPTIC in frustration?

MY GAMEPLAY: SWEAT, REALM, HEADY, BEADY

Happy Saturday everyone! For the late-night crowd reading this blog, I’m actually playing the game just after midnight so it still feels like Friday night. I decided to play SWEAT as my opening guess for the third day in a row. If I’m feeling it tomorrow maybe I’ll play it again just to see how I do. It gave me two vowels today so I can’t complain. Let’s hear how everyone else is doing down in the comments. On to tomorrow!

SMITE

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: CUDGEL make it any harder???

MY GAMEPLAY:SWEAT, STORE, SUITE, SPITE, SMITE

I thought I had it licked in 3! Then four. And then, ultimately, five. What a tricky little bugger of a solve to end the workweek. I wonder how Momsie will fare? The weekend is upon us. Enjoy every sweet second of it. On to tomorrow!
