SNAKE SPOON STINT -Wordlebot says STINT was a 1 out of 15 guess, but it was genuinely the only valid word I could think of. -You pondering your second guess: "How about STAND, that would be good..., or also TRADE, that might be the best you could do!" -Probably should have gone with your first instinct here, would have given you S, T & N in position (although I could see that being pretty trappy in itself).
Almost fainted when you considered STAND after LOLLY. That's what I had done, and was obviously thrilled with it. (I yelled at you to stick with stand, but I guess you didn't hear me.) Got it in 4: LOLLY, STAND, STING, STINT.
I started going pseudo-hard mode (playing it like hard mode but with normal mode settings) because letter testing was starting to get a bit blah. Got this one in 3 though from ALERT>POINT by this point I narrowed it down to 3 word I could think of SKINT STINT and QUINT because I managed to take the R, E, A, L and P out of play which were the most common letters to precede -INT. I chose STINT in the end which was quite lucky. Turns out Wordlebot says there was only one acceptable solution after POINT which surprised me.
4 today….I start with Raise on Friday, followed it with sting and thought I had it in 2…but that g did not light up. Tried again with stink and got it with stint
Made heavy use of the previous solutions list today. LOLLY, STARE, STUMP, STINT All past solutions: STICK, STIFF, STILL, STING, STINK. Almost no STUxx past solutions, so I went there first.
Blew it today. After Lolly, Steam and Strip I was left with the dreaded STI xx. Using hard mode means no eval. So I went with Stick, Stiff, and Sting. Busted😢
Got to admire getting this in hard mode. I struggled enough in normal play. LUCRE, MOIST, SWIFT, SKINT, (at this stage I had thought of answer but 50/50 on) SAINT, STINT (hoping shint was not a word!).
I got it in four despite getting two greens on my first turn. I opened with STARE, which gave me a lot of options to have to deal with. I then went for FLOCK (to test for stock). That gave me nothing. Then WINDY, which gave me the I and N and kinda suggested it was likely STINx. Since sting and stink were previous solutions, the best next choice seemed to be STINT.
A "3" for me today. LEARN (Just an "N" exposed, out of position.) SNOUT (Fruitful second guess... "S" and "T" in position, and "N" still out of position.) STINT (A welcome three-word solve! This took a little while 'til I realized there could be a double "T". I seem to have a mental block regarding double letters.)
Another nail-biter, Doug, but you got it. After “stare” I thought of 8 unused words. I decided “doily”, my second go-to word would help and it did. Took out stilt, stood, stoop, stuff, stump, stunt, and stymy. So a “3” for me today. STare- do”i”ly- STINT
Well done Doug! There's always a risk when there are so many choices! A 5 for me.... ORATE CUPID STING STINK STINT I didn't remember sting and stink having been previous solutions.
