:lol: So much irony.
Spoiler:

Riding a 2/6 FLOAT, I went double letter on 3/6 with my GoCubsGo conscience saying, "Don't do that."
It was the wrong double letter, TRACT. I know, lame word but the clock was ticking.
The lame word gave me a green, added a yellow letter and set me up for the solution seconds later :thumbup: HEADY of me ;)
That solution was a different double letter, which GoCubsGo conscience had again warned me against :crazy:
You took more than twice as long by shunning a double letter solution :doh:
It was our differing double letter strategies that set us (solution) and gave me a win with (solution) :P
Irony.

I was on GUARD for a double letter, then I thought I'd be wearing the daily TIARA.

I may have been mistaken.

Thanks, that does make me feel better. I was seeing so many possibilities that I made a list in order to sort by likelihood.
Spoiler:

The solution is a rarely used, though legit, word and IMO RISER, MIXER, CIDER and HIKER were all better choices. The obscure FIVER was the only word on my list that I didn't use. I really paid the (solution) with frustration :angry-banghead: (Solution) never occurred to me, but I had the sense that were even more options to be found.

Ironic, again, that you are HEADY enough to win this one :-|| with a double letter :P

After that guess I needed to DETOX.
Felt like a wordle rookie with my RETRO picks.

And once again I defied wordlebot with my Useless and should have solved in 4.

Although DETOX left only one possible solution, some of this was luck: If the solution had been METRO, there still would have been two words to choose from. But you’ve narrowed it down to one possible solution. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

I only "did much better" this game.

Nice narrative!

Early double letter again? Are you overcompensating after my teasing last week?

Wordlebot is now scolding you over imaginary scenarios? What a nag! I think y'all have become way too familiar :problem:
