Guess #1
“RSTLNE”… host Pat Sajak would call out those letters as free guesses in the bonus round of the 1980’s hit TV game show “Wheel of Fortune”. Who remembers this? From these frequently occuring letters in English words, I’ll take five to make STERN.
Guess #2
Got two there, now to test the L and other vowels… how about FOLIA?
Guess #3
I see the possibility of the mystery word ending in ER; also REL. Then again, it could begin with RE. I’m going to check for U with LURED — seems good
Guess #4
We got 4 letters revealed! Now, what was this thing about following your instinct? Should have stuck with ___ER just now?? Lol. Answer is looking like ELDER to me, given that a DR_EL yields nothing I know of; and it’s hard to fit the D and L elswhere…

Yay, I’m back in the game (with a solution found within 4 moves) after that disaster in the previous puzzle Wordle 232!
