I was STEAMed.

I STARTed so well.

I then realized the odds were STACKed against me.

I should have STAFFed it out.

A bust would have been a STAIN on my long streak and made me reach for my (solution).

Did an intentional Useless with a plural because I was :angry-banghead: and couldn't think where to go. Once I did that it was pretty obvious.

There was only one possible solution left β€” and this wasn’t it. (MEALS is a valid guess, but it’s unlikely to be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle.) But there’s still only one solution remaining. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

I may have also had only one solution remaining after 2/6, 3/6 or 4/6. Didn't stop me from being an idiot :roll:
Spoiler:

I did the same thing with a 4/6 'S' plural.
It makes sense to call that an intentional Useless, so 2 Uselesses for me this game. I still floundered even though I knew the 3 central letters. Ugh.

Guess I should have prayed :angel:

Spoiler:
I had a BATCH of guesses while was trying to CATCH a break.

Looks like I got one.

Before your guess, I thought the solution could have been one of four words: PATCH, MATCH, HATCH or LATCH. With only one guess left, all you can do is pick the one you think is most likely. And you guessed correctly! A little lucky, but good for you.

Maybe I'm a little sleepy, but that's no excuse especially with such an excellent 1/6. I finally resorted to an intentional Useless on 5/6 which I had zero hope for, but it gave me the answer in seconds.
