    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.

    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.

    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.

    @Trace_AM Місяць тому +6

    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.

    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.

  • @jamesstaats6105
    @jamesstaats6105 Місяць тому +3

    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.

  • @SamWords13
    @SamWords13 Місяць тому +3

    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) 😅

  • @puzzling_art

    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 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.
