Solid effort after spending the day looking at new homes sided in…

After 22 years, I'd had enough of woodpeckers causing thousands of dollars of damage, along with my southern facing boards getting sunbaked and warping, so I we finally ripped off all the cedar and put new siding up.

But good luck to you!

Much tougher one today. Double letter + z.

 

[storrsroars]

One of those words where following a rules-based strategy will likely burn you. I thought about plant, plane, place, etc. and thought none were Wordle-worthy.

Not to mention reusing the E is bad strategy

Yes, @storrsroars my rules meant I wasn’t going to do much better than this. But they are designed to avoid total misses and I had it down to one word left.

Woodpeckers don’t like Cedar shakes, because no insects. But They love Poplar trim boards. I finally replaced all mine with the fake stuff. All the new houses I’m looking at use the fake trim boards. The front siding is hardiplank, good luck to woodpeckers on fiber cement.

Thought my 4 was ok. You guys did well.

You deserve more credit than that. You could've gone with 'barge' or 'large'.

Well, why I call it "low skill" was that the 2nd guess was sub-optimal. Maybe if I had given it more thought, I could have come up with RANGE as guess number 2, which at least would be no worse than a 4 if it actually was BARGE or LARGE.

That's a pretty obscure word, even for Wordle. Luckily, I've been to harness races.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I stayed from the rule for line 4 and it cost me. Didn't believe this would actually be a solution word. I don't know it as a horse racing term @storrsroars just the adjective form of "sulk", which is still a pathetic word for a solution. Nobody uses it.

I doubt 'horde' comes to top of mind anywhere other than a UConn sports forum. But given this is a UConn sports forum, it did.

It came to mind for me, but I thought that the NYT would realize the date tomorrow. Certainly my 3rd guess was appropriate. I think I'll start with it tomorrow.

You do realized you can trim these screenshots down, right? Nice 3 but what the hell is PAWER?

You do realized you can trim these screenshots down, right? Nice 3 but what the hell is PAWER?

I am gonna figure that out tomorrow, also that and stare are my two favorite start words, I like clearing P and W early as they are often involved in the trickiest words (waltz, parer cone to mind) and _a_er is self explanatory.

Pawer refers to someone who holds or caresses someone inappropriately. Old time word.

Sounds like part of a good name for an anti-female harassment in the workplace group. "Fight the Pawer"

Rule saved me from a 5. Three Ps would have pissed me off.
