Wordles and Waffles and Connections, oh my!

An Aimo Classic led to my first crash and burn.
When I was aimoing there was a junior high boys “snicker” word that I so wanted to be the answer! You might guess it from the 3 letters I had right.

I get it - today was really hard, for a couple reasons. Wordlebot itself, with all of its computing resources, took 5 guesses!

But in retrospect I realize my fkameout was partly my own fault. Wordlebot really didn’t like a couple of my guesses, with good reason. I tried perfectly reasonable words but they included rarely used letters. So when the guess was wrong I eliminated almost no possibilities. I will try to avoid that mistake in the future.
