Here’s a logical approach that helps solve today’s puzzle efficiently:
Starter Word (TRACE): This word checks for the most common consonants and two common vowels (A, E). If all letters are gray, you know you need to focus on the remaining letters, including O, U, I, and other less frequent consonants.
Second Guess (SOUND): Based on the official hints, we know the answer starts with D and contains the vowel O. If TRACE yielded no results, a word like SOUND or MOUND is a good second move as it introduces 'O’, 'N', 'D', and 'U'. A successful guess might reveal that the D is present and possibly the O.
Third Guess ( LODGE): The hint tells us the word starts with D and has an O. Let's assume your previous guesses confirmed ‘D’ and ‘O’. Since the word has only one vowel (O) and repeating letters, and the word means 'tricky' or 'evasive', words like LODGE, FUDGE, or even DOUSE might be good to test consonant positions and the single vowel rule.
Final Logic: Once you confirm that the only vowel is O, the letter pattern becomes clear. The word starts with D, has one vowel (O), has a repeated letter (D), and is an adjective meaning 'tricky or shady. If you’ve reached this point, scroll carefully, the solution is next!
