Well done, Doug. Took me a while to get the “knack”. After “aster” and “doily” I had an “A”. Okay. I thought of champ, human, kayak, manga, and whack, all previous answers; then manna and quack. When “quack” didn’t do it I looked for every consonant combination and finally saw “knack”. So, a “4” for me today. Aster- doily- quACK- KNACK
Interesting word today, and interesting to watch and listen to Doug pull it out in 4. A four for me also today.... LEARN ("A" in position, "N" out of position.) GIANT ("A" in position, and "N" still out of position.) SNACK ("N", "A", "C", and "K" all in position.) KNACK (Solved in four!)
OMEGA. STARN BLANK KNACK. My mind was drawing a Blank. I didn’t have the Knack for finding knack. But eventually I found it. According to Scordle it was the only choice left.
STEAL, ACORN, PANIC, KNACK. This was tough. Trying to correctly position the a, c, n letters was a challenge with no green tile popping up for either one on the 2nd and 3rd steps. Finally got a solve on my 4th step but it wasn't easy.
A bit of useless trivia about today's start word: There used to be a car called the Oldsmobile Omega. But I digress. I took four guesses today: LEAST-AWARD-KHAKI-KNACK.
Fourth time starting with OMEGA, and it wasn't the solve word again. :) For those of us who tried flack first, there were several choices, so it took me six today, but that's still better than seven. omega-saucy-aitch-crack-flack-knack was my chain today.
I got it in four but it was actually a pretty quick solve as far as the clock is concerned. When STARE gave me the A in green, I saw no reason to not use my favorite second word DOILY. That gave me nothing so it was on to one of my go-to third words...CHUNK. That cracked the case for me. With the K in the fifth spot, and the C and N in yellow, the only arrangement that made any sense was the word KNACK.
I did not get the knack of solving this puzzle as easily as Doug and found it quite tricky ending up with a bogey 5 - CEASE, TRACT, POACH, QUACK, KNACK.
My mom guessed KNACK on 3 yesterday (opiNe, ChurN, kNACk, FANCY) and I ribbed her for it (said 2 Ks was wild). After I guessed trACe, slACK, I had to go KNACK on 3. :)
XYLYL - CRANE (my go-to) - at this point I was so confident it had to be SNACK with the A in green, and C and N in yellow - my face fell when i saw the S turn gray and everything else light up green LOL - realized I'd missed the other option (now the only option, I believe) and entered KNACK
First word: Yellow A. Second word: Yellow N. Third word: Green C and K. I saw two possibilties and went for the bolder one first, KNACK, the other being SNACK.

Tricky is putting it mildly. It was vicious. I found it very challenging.
Yes knack is a hard word because there is a silent k and silent k words are hard
