Christmas Wordling: The Fifth Day Of Christmas

I posted this on the New York Time's Wordle Review comments yesterday -- 

Wordle 923 3/6

⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ SHONE   30 WL

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHILD

Skill 99/99
Luck 56/99
Streak 674

(To be sung to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”)

“On the Fifth Day of Christmas, my First Guess showed to me
An H — it was where it should be 
So my Second Guess was TRICK — it showed I was Letter 3
And that’s not all — the solution included a C
Now the big moment came — and my odds were one-in-three
My guess was CHILD — I beat The Bot — Love it so when the squares all turn green”

Anyone still playing with Christmas-themed words could have had a *very* LUCKY day.  I felt quite confident that today’s solution started CHI— after Guess #2.  And I knew from information learned playing Game #667 (WHIFF on 4/17/2023) that only four solutions (3, actually — CHILL was previously used) remained.  I went with CHILD for Guess #3, and watched happily as all the squares turned GREEN.  I beat both The Bot and the (current) NYT avg (3 vs 3.6). 

Take care and stay safe.
