Today’s puzzle stings a little. Specifically around letter four. Most people skip it. If you are stuck staring at the grid, maybe pick a new opening. Stick to the high-frequency stuff. Check out the frequency charts later.
Here is the deal with today’s puzzle.
The word transports things. From one place. To another.
Think about that definition.
Hints
Don’t read these if you want the challenge intact. Or maybe just glance at one. Your choice.
No repeats. The word is clean. No double letters hiding out.
Two vowels. Not one. Not three. Exactly two.
Starts with M.
Ends with R.
Put it together?
M _ _ _ R.
No repeats. Two vowels inside. It moves cargo.
The Answer
MOVER.
Yesterday was CREED. The day before? WAVER. You’ve seen them. Or you haven’t. Doesn’t matter now.
Here is the recent list anyway:
- May 15 #1791: CREED
- May 14 #1790: WAVER
- May 13 #1789: DOWDY
- May 12 #1788: CLOCK
- May 11 #1787: NEWLY
Best starting words
Don’t gamble blindly. Lean on the math. E, A, and R are your friends. Avoid Z, J, and Q until you have to. Why waste a turn on junk letters?
Try these starters:
- ADIEU
- TRAIN
- CLOSE
- STARE
- NOISE
Some play better than others. Does it matter if you get it on three tries or five? Probably not. The sun goes up. You drink coffee. You swipe green.
Or red.
Whatever happens next, keep your keyboard ready.
