=================================
Normally I only guess possible solutions, but there are too many -ER words, so I used PRIVY as a filter word. Though RIPER might have been both a possible answer and a good filter.
I was going back and forth between RIVER and GIVER, so I’m glad I guessed right.

I’m picking up what you’re putting down. I almost used a burner on my 3rd guess today—so many possible traps.
I wanted to pick Giver because Lois Lowry book. But chose River because I just met yet another person named River last week.

VIPER 🐍 came up in two crosswords 🏁 and I used it in a memory test yesterday, so it was already on my mind. It would’ve made for a cool theme if I got it in 2!
Then it was between RIVER and GIVER. RIVER seemed more likely.
I think this is the first time the 🤖 couldn’t come up with a solution. Anyone ever have that happen?

“…and a RIVER runs through it.” It may be time to watch that again. Or possibly give it a read.
Watch Out! There’s a COBRA and a VIPER in your RIVER!

Lately, my brother always starts with the words QUIET and POLKA.
Earlier today, he texted me, “The quiet polka yielded eight regular clues, one good clue, one super clue.”
Given that & my first two words, I thought the answer must be BIKER. Nope. That’s what I get for trying to use his clues! 🥴
Then I tried to think of a word with 5 of the next most likely letters, but I was running out of vowels. I needed two more words to test OVDGRF.

Fellow slater, you made it out alive, today in the land of -ers
🤯 🔭 had a vision of an aye ‘n eee word today. dough a re-pete, i reached back to islet ‘cuz it sounded sunny, warm and invitin’…and i could sail there.
ahhhh…🌴 in my mind i could see the coconuts 🥥 and nammers 🍌 ripenin’ in the sun and breeze.
rubbed my eyes and realized it was an island, not an islet, and there was an inlet, where a river flowed into the sea. ⛰️🏞️
🤔 bet if i go far enough up in to them hills it’ll turn in to a creek and maybe some buried treasure. 👋 gotta go…busy day explorin’ ahead. ☀️🌊⛵️🏴☠️🗡️🦜

Just looked on my spotify account to find that I have only 3 RHCP songs liked/saved, and two of them were used in that parody.
I do like ‘Under the Bridge’.
I also enjoy their high energy covers of ‘Higher Ground’ (Stevie Wonder) and ‘Fire’ (Jimi Hendrix).

I really enjoyed this one: I had to sleep on it after STEER. Then I searched FiveForks for PU words, adding those I thought of that were not listed. RIVER was one of my earliest ideas, but I kept looking. Felt great to climb out of this trap! 🙂
Good ☀️/🌃 to all!

🟩⬜🟨⬜🟨 RAISE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RIVER
I asked for an I word and I got one.
RAISE leaves OG NU: REFIT, RIPEN, RIVER.
It also leaves ADDs: REBID 56%, REDID 57%, RELIT 49%, RIVEN 58%
I was planning to play RIPEN, but with all the rain we’re having, I pivoted to RIVER. RIVER would also have given me RIVEN. (so would have RIPEN BTW).

⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 TILER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Thought a while for that one. It’s an example where Hard Mode can be a straightjacket.
But the 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 has been flowing temptingly past the door for a long while now. And not many -I-ER are left in the nu list any more. And still early for a pu!
AROSErs arise! But will TB ever play our word?
But tiler isn’t a possible solution, is it?
not on the OG list but maybe an ADD?
You’re right there, again! TILER is not on AL but surely it must be on GL. So candidate for an ADD.
We had a guy in to tile our kitchen floor and when we couldn’t remember his (rather obscure) name we called him What tiler (Wat Tyler), just to be rebellious. But to his face we always remembered he was Ralph (surname omitted).
That’s funny!
😂 our recent tile project was done by a guy who actually has a business called The Tile Guy so that made it easy. 😅
🙋♂️
🤔 rebellious??? like your style @seanh. 😎
btw, consulted the new oxford american dictionary re tiler…say wut?? 🤷♂️
1. a person who lays tiles
2. the doorkeeper of a masonic lodge, who prevents outsiders from entering. 🤯😎
TILER is not on the WB list, so seems very unlikely to be a solution.
That is odd, given that TILER must be orders of magnitude more common than other words that have actually been answers, like COPSE.
She will. Patience.
I envy your faith (and your patience). What is the consensus of the Tracybennettologists? Is she watching us? When I see STEAL coming good soon, my hopes will rise.
What if Tracy was one of us
Just a nerdler like one of us
Just a blogger like one of us
Trying to get Wordle in one?
I’m not going down that road again! 😂
OK, Tracy…. I mean Kim..
not heading that way again either !!!
Who, so far, has been accused of being TB? Kim? Glenda? Kralc? Arthur?
🤔 In the past couple weeks we had someone named Trazy who suddenly appeared and then very mysteriously disappeared 🫥

I was totally lucky – but instinctually felt that TB would use the double letter…..
