Line 1: The only thing caught here with “catch” is an “A” in the incorrect spot.

Line 2: New letters, moving the “A” to the middle, etc.

Line 3: Trying to figure out where the “P” goes, got the “E” as a bonus.

Line 4: I see here that the “P” has to go in the second position, but I totally forgot that it can make a blend with “S”. After several minutes of going through all sorts of vowel combinations, I realized my error and had the puzzle solved.

Line 1: “Floor” didn’t do great things here.

Line 2: Breaking out a base word here – good ol’ “baste”. It does a little better.

Line 3: I know “watch” was a solution quite awhile ago, but I play it anyway, on the off chance that the “T” actually goes in the middle. This pays off mightily.

Line 4: Here’s the issue though. The word could be “catch”, “hatch”, “match”, or “patch”. I do not have enough guesses to guess all of these (though I think this would be the only thing allowed in hard mode). Instead, I play “campy” in order to see which of these letters should go in the first spot.

Line 5: What a “catch”! 🙂

Line 1: All things considered, “equal” isn’t a terrible starting word, having three vowels (among them “E” and “A”) and an “L”. It’s the “Q” that’s the problem.

Line 2: I went with “fling”, as it’s one of my base words, and getting the “FL” correct is very helpful. We also know now that the vowel or vowels probably have to be “O”.

Line 3: “Flood” or “floor” come to mind, but I play “flowy” to use more letters, especially the “Y”.

Line 4: I guess I should have played “floor” or “flood” last turn, but with my luck, I would have probably played “flood” and I would have been solving it in four anyway.

Line 1: At least I got one of five with “valid”, because it’s not an optimal starting word.

Line 2: Introducing a few new letters… Interesting on the placement of the “I” and the appearance of “N” and “C”… “IC” is not unheard of for a word to end with.

Line 3: Score on the “IC” ending, and getting the “N” is a bonus – I bet I know what the answer is!

Line 4: What?! Not “sonic”? I bet I know what it has to be now!

Line 5: What?! Not “conic”? There’s only one option left now, isn’t there?

Line 6: Oh, my goodness! Isn’t it “ionic”, don’t’cha think? Just kidding! I just never considered that there were so many words with 5 letters that end in “-onic”, otherwise I probably would have played a word to eliminate those possibilities, since I don’t play hard mode. One of my normal starting words (baste/beast/feast) would have eliminated “S” and “T” as possibilities, but I’m having fun wit the challenge of the weird starting words.

Line 1: “Enjoy” is not the optimal start word, but it could be worse. However, it played out as well as I expected here!

Line 2: Going for all new letters here – “flash” gives me the “A” and “L”, but in the wrong places.

Line 3: I was really struggling for a word here, and “laird” sounded enough like I word that I tried it without knowing what it was. It did good, though, and got me to 4 of the five letters.

Line 4: Knowing that the word didn’t start “ia” (iambic is six letters after all!), logically, the word would have to end “ALID”. It still took me a minute to come up with “valid”.

Line 1: “Howdy” is certainly an … interesting … word to begin with. I’m in luck here, though, the “Y” is in the final spot again and there’s an “O” somewhere in the word.

Line 2: Now, I know “glory” was the solution to Wordle #461, but I played it anyway in order to get a word that was consonant-consonant-“O”-consonant-“Y”. There are quite a few out there, but my brain isn’t always working so well.

Line 3: There was a lot of luck here, but here’s how my mind got to “enjoy”. I figured, first, that it was more likely that the “O” was in the 4th place as opposed to the first. In that case, I needed a word that ended in “OY”. The problem is that I had already played “H”, “R”, and “L”, which I thought were probably the most common to find in a word ending in “Y”. (No words ending “LY” or words like “decoy”, for example.) The next word that came to mind was “enjoy”, and I thought that that would be quite sneaky, especially as it is one of the few words that have a “J” but not at the beginning of the word. I couldn’t resist but play it, and I lucked out!
