I think it is WRONG to use a repeat word when WRING is still unused.

After my second guess I knew it was either an add or a PU. I was lucky to have guessed the right one.

thanks to the filter. It’s the best way to find PU that I am considering. I really wanted to guess bring for the third guess, but it wasn’t May 5, Lol

Way off my game here- I had a feeling about Druid-no intuition there though, plus I feel compelled to try all the vowels. Hangs head in shame for bad play. On the other hand- it’s a beautiful day and the birds are calling.

It would have been interesting if today’s repeat was HORSE since today is the Kentucky Derby.
I still expect a REPEAT on 5/5. Cinco De Mayo.
We’re still overdue for an ADD too.
We’ll see.

Horse would have been perfect! I’m betting with you on a repeat 5/5. My prediction is SALSA. Mainly because it’s my favorite Wordlemare, a double double! Ha!
JD
Maybe JULEP would have been good for an ADD today.
I think SALSA would be brilliant! I wouldn’t open with that though (double A and double S).
Perhaps, SALTY is an opener for that.

Debated trying BRINK too but ah well. FWIW – I never really review past words or trends.
The filter tool was heavily used this morning, Jeb. Thank you. I chose to use a different word that also uses up almost of the remaining vowels for my second word. And it was happily helpful.

Thank you to whoever may have had to edit my reply in order to have the wraparound eliminated from the pending reply I saw after hitting “Post”.
I tried to correct it but it said “unnarrated posts cannot be edited”
I thought we were due for a PU so entered CLING, but like many others I then tried the non-PU WRING which I should have put in line 3!

Knowing that we were overdue for a repeat, I tried 2 new words then moved to the PU list. BRIBE was the oldest; BRING was still within the first year; and BRINY was #1064. Statistics about repeats are being compiled on the Five Forks site and I am enjoying using them in my game strategy.
Good ☀️/🌃 to all!

Narrowed down to FRISK and WRING
(3) FRISK
picked the wrong one. Thought I would rather have the S.
(4) WRING
narrowed it down to the REPEAT!
(5) BRING (164)
I thought it would be an ADD instead today. We were due either way.
