I did have some insight before guessing as I know a friend’s usual first word and sometimes see her solution before I get to mine.

Of course I’m curious how removed you were from the vacuum of solution information. I’m assuming you saw your friend’s grid of yellows and greens with only knowing their start word.
But regardless, congrats on the rare 1!

My 2nd guess was a mistake. I forgot to check it first. 🤦🏻♀️ If I had been at home I would have taken more time to make my guesses. At least it’s a 3.
On vacation so haven’t been taking the time to post the last few days.

I always begin with STILE. LOFTY on two was unlikely to be the answer, but it did point to LOATH.
ACCORDING TO Wordlebot LOTTO was also available, so I lucked out.

I got LOATH in 3. I would have gotten it in 2 tries but I thought it was 6 letters – Loathe. Ha, I thought she made a mistake! As is often the case, after I looked it up I realized I was wrong. Spelled both ways. I love learning something new every day!
Teelee
I never even thought about that. Good thing.

I looked it up too!

Happy with my 3, but I am loath to break this fantastic run of 2s. Great job everyone!
If I see this pattern again, it will be an ADD or a REPEAT guaranteed.
I’m not so sure that we aren’t done with ADDs, because I haven’t seen one since TOADY on 4/18/26 (literally a month ago)
Has she run out of ideas?
I expect either a cluster of ADDs coming soon or none at all.
JD
The pattern is an EV, because it’s green. LOL.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Loath
Nineteen possible answers according to the Wordle Solver Tool based on Stane. Thanks for the fiveforks list! The list indicated that 2 words were not previously used. Also, most of those 17 were used after JAN. 2022. Words not previously used: Loath and Tramp. I thought Ms. Bennett might be loath to use Tramp because it can have a negative connotation. For whatever reason that was a good choice.
JD
Great!
I think you’re right about TRAMP.
There a lot of borderline common controversial words that haven’t been played including. Also, these are not on the 2315 list.
B____H – meaning female dog.
P____S – a famous male organ
I’ve identified many others in my research. A few derogatory terms.

Will you have to change your handle? 🧐
Nope- I am loath to replace it. 😉
Now that the rules have changed, LEAST might come around again. Plus having the same starting word for me helps with my Wordle ESP.
