Unclear whether they think harry is obscure or potentially offensive. If the latter, dear lord.

Obscure

"In an effort to make the puzzle more accessible, we are reviewing the solutions and removing obscure or potentially insensitive words over time. HARRY is an example of an obscure word."

 

[storrsroars]

I imagine there will be some difficulty today. I chose a new 1st word, an odd 2nd word, and by 3rd line there was only one possible word ftw.

All you guys are way better at this game than I am. I've done about twenty of these things, and never guessed in fewer than 4 tries, with 4 being the most common. It's a fun little game, though.

There's a lot of luck involved. My 2nd word choice. Even your third choice today. What if you picked "would" instead of holly? Probably looking at 5 or 6.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I also picked holly.

And you're a Hüsker Dü fan!

And you're a Hüsker Dü fan!

Nope. Had to look up the connection. I'm just a guy trying to knock off two more vowels while moving an L! I should probably revisit their tunes, I'd probably appreciate them more now.

[storrsroars]

^ I had to look up "soare", lol..

 

[JavaMan]

Sacrificed 3rd street to ensure the correct answer on 4th street.
Figured it was:
SPOUT
SHOUT
SCOUT or
SNOUT
.

.
SNOUT would have been my last choice. So as Wordle likes to say, PHEW!

Well done, Master.

Yeah Baby! Had a hunch on SN, then the second word that came to mind was "SNOOP", but I wanted to knock out two vowels.

OUTSTANDING!

 

[storrsroars]

I had an intuition there would be a Y today. I was wrong. But it was a good starter word nonetheless.

Nice job by all today

 

[8893]

I’ll bring up the rear:

 

[storrsroars]

I normally wouldn't go with a double letter when there are other possible solutions, but my eyes wouldn't leave the QWERTY corner and it was right there.

 

[uconn1999]

52 W streak intact, was a bit concerned

Hope you didn't wake anyone up with a loud cuss word

 

[JavaMan]

Clearly I should have had fewer attempts.

Bad start, pulled it out.
