Wordle 809 6/6

MUSIC
STEAD
FLASH
BRASH
AWASH
GNASH

Look, I know the importance of a good starting word. But I also get really bored with sameness. I feel grumpy when I have to eat the same thing several days in a row (which I often do anyway). I don’t like to do the same things every day or week. I dye my hair a different color and get my nails decorated with new designs nearly every month. I get inspired by change.

So despite the impracticality, starting Wordle with a random word adds another level of challenge that I enjoy. Instead of feeling the pressure to solve in six, I get satisfaction out of pulling off a win from behind.

The being said, this stressed me out a little. MUSIC was probably a poor choice because of the uncommon nature of some of the letters, but you probably know by now that I do love to knock out vowels. STEAD got me in the ballpark. I knew the S was also unlikely to be the last letter, so I tried an -ASH word. Unfortunately, that’s a very common letter pattern, and FLASH was the wrong guess. BRASH was a better guess, because it also knocked out TRASH and CRASH.

I don’t know why I guessed AWASH. I think I was hoping to get lucky.

That only left me with GNASH, the correct guess, and an accurate description of what I was doing near the end of this game.

Today’s word is GNASH, a verb. According to Webster’s New World College Dictionaryit means to grind one’s teeth together.

Today’s Difficulty

Today’s word is moderately challenging because of uncertainty.

The word has a common letter pattern with five or six possible answers. Getting the word in six guesses requires strategic choices at every attempt.
