Well done, Doug. I think that I drastically overthought this one. After stare and doily, I had a “Y”, and assumed there was a “U”. I thought of bunny, cubby, funky, gunky, hubby, huffy, hunky, junky, muggy, nubby, puffy, punky, punny and puppy. I tried “bunch” to help eliminate a few, but I still had 6 possibles. I tried “junky” that left 2 chances and 3 possibles, so I went “goofy”. Phew. Finally. So a headache and a “6” today. stare- doilY- bUNch- jUNKY- gooFY- FUNKY
When STARE/DOILY doesn't give me a whole lot -- and in this case I only had the Y in green at the end -- I usually choose my next word from a group that includes bunch, punch, chimp, chump, and chunk. Fortunately I went with what turned out to be the best of those, the word CHUNK. With the U, N, and K in yellow, I figured there was a good chance that the solution would be FUNKY. And it was. A fairly quick (maybe three minutes) par four.
Figured I'd follow along today starting with MOVIE. A dud as you know so then went with STUNG, BUNNY, FUNKY. I find it interesting that you seem to see the whole word possibilities rather than the letter combos. Since my UN was out of position, I thought about breaking them up since many words end in N BUT there wasn't a better place for the U than in 2nd bc combos like OUND and UNG and UNT had already been ruled out. Thus, there had to be a Y at the end I figured (*now I see it could have also been UNCH). After that, FUNKY was all that was left bc nothing else could go between the N and Y.
Given I live in the hometown of the Funk capital of Dayton, Ohio... you'd have thought that it would lead my choice of U words. But, no. Still got it in four, so I'm happy. movie-brand-funny-funky was my chain today.
First word: Yellow U and green Y. Good start there. Second word: Yellow N. Third word: Yellow K. My mind, not quite immediately, went to xUNKY and that was how I suspected FUNKY to be the solution. And it was.

Fudgy did me a solid today.
TESLA, BOUND, FUNGI, FUNKY. The word . "funny" came to mind but the "n" placement in my 2nd word ruled that out.
MOVIE, BATCH, FUNKY!!!🎉🎉🎉

Well done. I took the circuitous route. Phew!!!
Starting with MOVIE I thought I had it with FUNNY on guess#5, but fortunately guess#6 was still there to get FUNKY🥴
So glad you got it. 👍🏻

RIVET has not been the solution to Wordle so
there's a chance of a first guess solve.
...
Failed. My last guess was funny.
Not so funny. Bad luck but fresh start tomorrow.
Oh no. So sorry. New streak tomorrow.
@@Steve-d4j Stinks when you get down to the end with more than 1 choice. Fresh start tomorrow.
A four-word solve for me today, as follows....
LEARN ("N" out of position.)
SNOUT ("N" and "U" now out of position.)
PUNCH ("U" and "N" find a home in position.)
FUNKY (Solved! Funny that I didn't even consider FUNNY. I did think of "Gunky," and "Junky" but "Funky "came to mind first.)
ALONE - QUINT - BUNCH - PUNKY - FUNKY. Messed up with Quint. 😑
