So glad your viewer chose FLEET today. After about 10 to 12 minutes thought I went with HEFTY to get my FIRST two try solve ever! Thank you! How about trying FIRST as your first New Year word?
Well done, Doug. I love the strategy of the eval words. After “stare” and “doily” I had an “E”, “T” and a “Y”. I thought the answer was teeny or petty. Petty placed the “T” and led me to the answer. So a “4” for me today. sTarE- doilY- pEtTY- HEFTY
It was SOOOO interesting that you were caught up in figuring out the E positioning. I always play in hard mode. I wasn't feeling FLEET today bc of the double E's. I went with WHALE; then on the animal theme I did go with a double E in SHEEP. Now of course that was not the best word bc I had already tried the H in 2nd place, but I wanted to test the S and the L had already been ruled out. BENCH was my next thought bc I felt like the H would be at the end in a -CH, -TH, -GH sort of combo. When it was not, I knew it had to be a Y at the end, and came up with HEFTY rather quickly.
I scored a birdie by taking a big chance with only the e and t on the board: LANCE, TRIOS, HEFTY. Doug found out why having 3 yellows can sometimes be maddening. My streak is at 1,043.
Old time viewers of the channel will remember this. Doug’s love-hate relationship with the word FUDGY. Always being an iconic eval word. But these days FUDGY isn’t getting any love. Doug start with FUDGY
Thank goodness it was not a fearless Friday today for Doug! Changing up the start word I vaccilated between agile and lithe but agile had been a previous answer so I went with LITHE, then TEETH, HEFTY for a birdie.
FLEET, EMPTY, HEFTY, considered lefty but the L was ruled out already didn’t even see hefty. Really felt this could have been a two guess solve if I’d considered it for longer instead of using an eval.
Audio, sleet fetch, hefty. Ruling out the "f" in the first spot forced me out of the box (not my strong suit), but it worked out ok. Edit: Great lesson in strategic use of eval words by Doug. This one is worth watching again just for that tip.
I feel like I definitely could've lucked out with a 2/6 or even a 3/6 today, but I didn't :( I went HUMPY => HONEY => HEADY => HEFTY. Today's starting word for you being FLEET was really good, but yeah, sometimes we think and think and can't come up with a word that fits (to us in that moment anyway) 😅
The three first starting words gave me a green Y, a yellow E and a yellow T each, and the fourth one was a goose egg. I looked at the keyboard and saw H and F were still unused and thought of HEFTY. And voilà.
I scored a birdie the other day after using score as my second guess and got three greens! I don’t recall you using score before. Why don’t you try it.
I got it in five and am really disappointed with the way I handled the whole thing. After STARE, I stuck with my standard next word DOILY even though I sometimes don't in situations like that (when I already have two known letters). I then tried TEENY, which I realized might not be a smart play since I didn't need to test the Y like that. (I already knew where it went.) At that point I knew it was xETxY or xExTY. I went through every possible combination and concluded (wrongly) that it had to be betty, jetty, or petty. I convinced myself of the double T. So I went for PETTY. Nope. What did I miss??? Eventually I found HEFTY and got the bogey five. Not my proudest solve.
I made an reflex second guess, then felt silly to reuse the F in the same spot, but it worked as it brought the H into play for a three guess solve. I'll take it! fleet-fetch-hefty was my chain today.

Congrats on the “2”! 🎉
RADIO - EXULT (this left only the E for vowels)
STEEP (and there is only one E in the word)
TECHY (four of five letters in the word)
HEFTY
FLEET, STATE, AFTER, STOUT, HEFTY. Should have considered the Y before, but got there.
Fleet, often, hefty
Amble, hoist, hefty
Changed FLEET to LEFTY for starting word, which left me with 4 greens. Who'da thunk ? LEFTY, HEFTY. I know some hefty Lefties, but I won't name names.
Fantastic. Congratulations.
🤣🤣🤣 I am a HEFTY LEFTY 😂😁😁

BEGIN->HEARD ->HEFTY Lucky three for me today!!
Doug is brilliant. I watch every day. But I think he has a fairly consistent weakness in failing to consider Y in the final slot.
Got it in 3 guesses.

Wordle has really like using the letter "Y" quite a bit lately.
Some much fun to watch how you solve the puzzle. It took me five.

This took me forever but I had hard mode on so I was limited for eval. FLEET, AFTER, HEFTY.
Good solve! A 4 for me too....ORATE PETTY LEFTY HEFTY
