Wordle solutions and SPOILERS thread

[WOM]

...10 minutes of staring at the screen going 'uh??' before entering in desperation the only thing that could possibly look like a word...

10 minutes? Easily 30 here. God, that was taxing this morning.

[S. aureus]

First time I've had no correct letters in either of my first two guesses:
RATES
CHIMP
BOUND
FLOWN
KNOLL

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Yeah, today was hard. I got it, but like most on here who've commented, only after staring at the possible remaining letters for about 15 minutes having worked out it was _NOL_ with no more vowels.

[Fussbudget]

Look away now if you don't want to know etc.

DELAY
SNOUT
SUGAR

[diggedy derek]

glad to see someone else uses snout

ROUSE
PAINT
SUGAR

Once I’d narrowed it down to starting with Su it was all sweet

[Sean of the Shed]

Absolutely kicking myself for trying a new opener. If I had gone with my more regular choice of STARE I reckon it could have been at least a three, maybe even a two.

[nmrfox]

I used STARE and got it in 4 -

STARE
SCRAP
SOLAR
SUGAR

Must admit that I thought SOLAR was a perfectly good guess and it took me a few minutes to get to the answer after that

[Kevin S]

Bit of a sketchy one.

[Balderdasha]

SHAPE
SATYR
SONAR
SUGAR

[Hot Orange]

S H A P E
S A L O N
S T R A Y
S U G A R

Quite embarrassed about how long it took me to think of a S _ _ A R word. At one point I'd convinced myself it must be one I'd never heard of.

[Sporting]

I tried out SUDAR before realising it's Spanish.

[S. aureus]

CHASE
STRAP
SOLAR
SUGAR

I see Balders went SONAR, and nmrfox and I went SOLAR when both were viable options (and in each case preferring them to the actual answer of SUGAR, our next guesses). Everybody else had eliminated O earlier, except Sean who also plumped for SONAR (having eliminated L) before SUGAR.

*Raises hand*

Can I be in the SOLAR club too?

[Fussbudget]

Surprised how many people went for SOLAR when it's already been an answer a week or so ago (I guess there's nothing that says answers can't be repeated but you'd assume not)

[San Bernardhinault]

Count me in the SONAR camp, because we'd already had SOLAR as a solution at one point. I thought SONAR was also unlikely but couldn't see the real answer until I'd done the elimination.

Changed tack entirely..
SMOCK
So I figured S??AR
SUGAR

[Discordant Resonance]

RITES
SHARK
SONAR
SUGAR

Was staring rather blankly for a while between attempts 3 and 4.

Oops, sorry

[S. aureus]

I'd already forgotten.

[lambers]

Obviously hungry when the guessing started today, turned out to be the right day for it!

Scone
Strip
Sugar

[caja-dglh]

A lucky high vowel start forced the next (correct) move. It was a slow run through thinking of SU_A_ words.

SAUTE
SUGAR

[pebblethefish]

The only reason I managed a two today was because I remembered the SOLAR/SONAR thing from the other week, and with S--A- from a fortunate first guess, I thought I'd lump in U for the second letter instead.

[Kevin S]

Lump. Well played.
