Guess #1
Still reeling from the news that NYT has acquired Wordle… I thought I’d try BOUGH without the T, since SOLD is just 4 letters.
Guess #2
Nice, we got the vowel O at the right spot! Letters R, S, T are very common in words, so I’m going for them with a P. Notice something neat here? OP(Q)RST – these are consecutive letters from the alphabet in play, sans the Q lol.
Guess #3
Not too bad, two more letter hits albeit at wrong locations. But I haven’t used vowels A, E, I… gotta figure them in in this turn. How about LOTSA?
Guess #4
Ok, locked in that S; and no A in the mystery word. The T is either at the front or back. Let’s try MOIST.

Ha ha, that was a good one 🙂
