Iβm a little embarrassed I didnβt get it in 2 since I was an AVIAN wildlife rehabber and I have an AVIAry in my backyard. π

Switched up my usual starting word today and that was a mistake. Lol
We’ll never know if I would have gotten it in 2 had I started with ALINE, but not too upset with a 3.

Words that start with A are kinda hard to guess. Didn’t we just have a double vowel?
Yah! Canal! Back to back shared 3 letters too ! Amend and demon shared same 4 letters
The game is making me crazy
In fact 2 AAβs. AVIAN and CANAL. This might be an important pattern.

β¬β¬β¬π©β¬ STEAL 34
π©π©π©π©π©
I did some Kim S style overthinking on this one. WB says 34 left but I only thought of 6 unused.
My initial thought was RADAR, but I didnβt want to go with a double double too early. Both DINAR and VICAR sounded a little on the exotic side.
FRIAR and MORAY felt like possible proper nouns (I donβt know if theyβre on the 2315 list).
That left only the answer.
Thatβs why you got the 2! Well Done.
DINAR and MORAY are not on the list. They could be ADDs. Iβll have to check their COCA scores on Monday.
FRIAR and VICAR are on the list.
Congrats!
You beat my STEAL 34 > 1 with…. 34 > 0? π§
Well done! With my ADD, I either vastly overthink or act impulsively; there is no in between. Today, it was the latter.

Sculpted my way to the answer.
My mother used to make a dish called βChicken Divan.β Creamy chicken.
No idea why the recipe had that name- unless you were supposed to lounge in a couch while eating it!
Hahaha⦠sofa chicken.
Poulet crΓ©meux feels jealous
DIVAN is probably French. It worked its way onto the playable list, because of that dish.
Iβm not sure if Iβve ever had it.
Iβm sure the playable list are words from the OED.
Google (AI) gives a 2nd meaning as – a collection of poems by a single author (Middle Eastern/South Asian)

β¬π¨π©β¬β¬ RAISE
π©π©π©π©π© AVIAN
RAISE leaves only 7 words.
5 of them begin with the letter A. 4 have N. 2 have AA.
I could have played AXIAL or AVIAN to guarantee a 3.
I settled on AVIAN, because it has the N and the V which is more frequent than L and X. Also, AVIAN is the more common word.

Nice two!
thanks, I only got a bit of that rusty anchor. Your 3 was also nice.
I meant that/this reply for Ruth
Wow! From one letter in the wrong position to the answer!
With ROATE, that leaves 22 possibilities. That should be the same with ORATE.
Well done.
Congrats!
