Wordle solutions and SPOILERS thread

[irony towers]

Sits : each new game is available at midnight local time. You're ahead of most of us, and this may well give the solution to Monday's players.

I did try to warn you of this when I set up your match:

Because of the antipodean time difference, it will require some care for Sits to ensure he's on the same game as VA, and to avoid quite literally giving the game away if he were to post too soon in the spoilers thread.

An easy mis-step to make, I know, as you get your bearings. Players who've seen the forewarning on the other threads can play the game unhindered.

Oops. Thanks IT. Deleted. I suppose I’d assumed people only look on here when they’ve done the latest but it’s very sensible.

[irony towers]

They could be looking on here of an evening having played their latest, not wanting to see your latest before it's available here.

[Sits]

Isn’t it the same timing globally? That’s what I’d assumed.

[Etienne]

No, updates at midnight local time.

[Sits]

Oh. Right then.

#226 <--- this is the Monday one

(By the way thanks for deleting, Sits. I avoid going in this thread after about 3pm on the off-chance of an accidental time-difference spoiler but it'd be easy to forget.)

Bizarre first 2 words from me today, not sure where those came from. Looking forward to seeing how many people have rotated through the million different possible options for the first letter that Balders listed a few pages ago:

SPLAY
FREON
GUILT
LIGHT

[Sits]

Freon! Wow.

[Sits]

OK it’s Monday everywhere now. #226:

[Sits]

Is BRUNG a proper word then? I almost went for it before WRUNG but then started doubting myself that it wasn't just local dialect, like 'telt' as the past tense of 'tell'

When our kids were young they picked up “brang” from school.

Too many attempts on this one after getting the L and wrongly placed T off the first go. Faffed around trying to get the vowel/s or looking for an S.

[Hot Orange]

S I T A R
T I M E D
P I V O T
L I G H T

Bit of a missed opportunity here. I thought of TIGHT after attempt 1 but decided to hold off using a double T. It didn't occur to me to look for other -IGHT words until much later. In the end I was fortunate, as the solution could just as easily have been NIGHT, FIGHT or BIGHT.

[Auntie Beryl]

First failure today, breaking a 36 streak. Got to IGHT in good time but cycled through NIGHT, MIGHT and FIGHT before running out of moves. Curses!

There does seem to have been a run now of solutions that only have one vowel. I'm expecting a googly soon where the answer will be "LEVEE".

THICK
PITHY
MIGHT
LIGHT

I thought this was going to be my first loss so far. lucky again.

[S. aureus]

Very lucky 3 for me, as my first -ight word turned out to be the answer. I was already thinking about whether I should try a knowingly incorrect answer next to thin the ranks, or just assume that it wouldn't be wight or bight and put night, might and fight in for the last 3 guesses (I don't think the other open possibilities are actual words).
On more thought (post facto), if light was wrong then woman would tell me three of the 5, then with 2 guesses left I could cover the other 2.

Proper brain freeze between second and third guess there, the answer just didn't register as a word until I tried to say it out loud
