Under Par on back-to-back days — I’m starting to feel good about myself again.
Guess #1 gave me only a Yellow E (496 solutions remaining) — but Guess #2 hit the jackpot, providing T, R & A (all out of position). So, I had 4 of 5 letters — but didn’t know the location of any — just places where they *didn’t* belong. Not to mention (although I’m about to), there’s a TON of words you can make with E, T, R & A! Once I had cross referenced with previous solutions and eliminated letters, I felt my best options were: AFTER, EATER & WATER. Since I wasn’t at all sure those three words were the *only* solutions left, I didn’t consider playing “defensively” (for example: WATER would ensure a solution in 4 among those 3 words). I felt good about AFTER — and I felt even better AFTER I played it. I tied The Bot but bested the (current) NYT avg handily (3 vs. 3.8).
Hopefully I can go “3 for Three” tomorrow.
Take care and stay safe.
