The last couple of days I have had trouble with Wordle.

Starting with Thursday's Wordle; Today’s average difficulty is 6 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. Sure ;) I did not even know the solution.

How many of you know this word:

Today’s word is QUASH, a verb. According to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, it means “to annul or set aside (an indictment). (From NYT Wordle Review).

 -  A  -  B  -  C  -

Yesterday/Friday I messed up and instead of painlessly having guessed IDIOM - a word, I know and love - I had ZOOID as the only possible an impossible - explanation, because I placed O as middle letter on my paper instead of  I. Today’s average difficulty is 3.8 guesses out of 6, or easy breezy.
My guesses were:

I even resorted to Merriam-Websters' "Give me a word with ... " page, and lastly to Wordle Solver. I do not normally use those, as I think it is cheating, but I used both intensely in April for the A-Z Challenge.
They both agreed that ZOOID was the only possible word! But with O not going second, it simply was not right,

Then I realized my error and solved it with IDIOM - luckily  T  had been ruled out, else I had typed in IDIOT as that's how I felt.

 -  A  -  B  -  C  -

Today I fooled around - just for fun to see if just putting in words with different letters did help.
I put in BROCK - did not even know it was a word ;)  AGILE and DUSTY. Then I had B A I T as "yellow" letters.

Then I had to play and put in TABIS - my beloved ninja-boots event though I knew they were not the solution with S not being in today.

HABIT was the solution.

Today’s average difficulty is 5 guesses out of 6, or moderately challenging.
