I was sure I was going to get today's in 2. Sadly the answer wasn't 'Tapir'...

Had two candidates for guess3 and picked the one with fewer vowels. Lucky move.

Thought I had it locked in with second guess today!

Thought for sure I had it on the 2nd try . . . but no!

Took the long weekend off but I see there's no rest for the weary. Some good gets while I was busy with other things.

Speaking of Tapir, this still gets me rofl.

The ten most frequently occurring letters are (in order): E A R O T L I S N C

Previously, Mrs. J arranged those into two accepted-by-Wordle words: SCONE + TRAIL , a pair of words which have been fairly good first and second guesses when trying to solve the puzzle. (See post #13 in this thread)

This morning I asked Perl whether there were more pairs, besides SCONE + TRAIL. To my surprise, the answer was yes, there are over seven hundred such pairs. Here are a few which I find slightly amusing or at least memorable.

• ACTOR LINES
• CLEAN TRIOS
• COINS LATER
• SCALE INTRO
• LASER TONIC
• OCTAL RESIN
• RENAL STOIC

Yup, I just tried the #1 hardest from that article, and needed 5 guesses

COINS + LATER (see post 99) appeared to give a great headstart. Then got bogged down in a guess-one-letter quagmire.

After screwing up my second guess, I suppose I deserved the punishment. I see others were bad boys also. I guess it's late enough in the day to see what happens when you're in a hurry. Attached is my first two.

I thought I was doing pretty good today after getting it (NYT) in just three tries, then my wife got it in two…
We’ve come to the conclusion that she is telepathic, and follows my lead, since similar occurrences have been happening for a few days now.

That was a hard one....

Uninspiring results from first guesses RENAL + STOIC (or STOIC + RENAL) , then managed to take a wrong turn on guess 3

Okay, I was not expecting this. I don't think I'd get it even if I saw MJ's clues. Just plain luck.
