Line 1: What happened to Wordle #552? I’ve been sick, and I forgot that I didn’t do it until it was too late. I’m just annoyed that I lost my streak! “Excel” gives me a misplaced “E”, which isn’t much, but I’ll take what I can get.

Line 2: I’ll move the “E” to the end, which does well, and put an “I” in the middle… Progress, but there’s a lot of words that could be played here.

Line 3: Just going about my business, eliminating more letters.

Line 4: Help? *gulp*

Line 5: I had already tried the third vowel thing with “abide”, but I thought that it might be still possible with an “O”. It took a couple of minutes, but then the possibility of “poise” entered my head, and… Yes!
