World 649 4/6

In college, I started playing Scrabble at the championship level. Not because I particularly wanted to (I didn’t) or because I was particularly good at it (I wasn’t), but because I was trying to get laid. I eventually did and stopped playing. But I’ve retained some habits from those days, including always wishing I could move jumbled letters from word games into any order I’d like. Spelling Bee has this functionality, but Wordle does not. Although I love Wordle, this fact drives me crazy. I would like to be able to insert letters into their places out of order, as a way of helping me to defocus my eyes and imagine the last word as a picture, in the way I frantically move scribble boxes around their shelf until one word presents itself to me. (The fact that this was my strategy should be a clue as to why I didn’t succeed in the game.)

Anyway, I think I’d be better at Wordle if it had that mechanic, which of course it isn’t.

I always start with a word that contains a mixture of the letters S, E, D, R, T, and A. They are the letters my brain immediately wants to identify. They are among the most used in the English language, both in general and as initial and final letters of words. I’ve been known to start with TIMES, DREAM, DRAMS, READS, STEAD. Sometimes none of these characters can be used. That’s how I know it’s going to be a bad day.

But today wasn’t a bad day. Peach, which I used here, is not among the usual starting words. Sometimes I just feel – noisy. However, it contained two of my vowels. (Had I followed my rules, I would have also allowed for the letters R and D and I could have gotten this puzzle out in three or even two guesses. Noisy is a risk.) I admit I hesitated before playing “PEACH” because when I played Scrabble I absolutely hated getting On C. You’d better get a Z or even a Q. But still. It was peach. The heart is a wild and unknown place.

Four out of five stars – a great solution, and the baking is delicious.

The word of the day is bread. According to Webster’s New World College Dictionaryis a name referring to food baked from sourdough, usually mixed with water and yeast.

Today’s stats

Today’s puzzle easy.

The letter pattern in the word of the day is so unique that the answer can be found using elimination strategies in six guesses, and the word is a very familiar vocabulary with no letter repeats.
