I had to confess this was a word I had to look up its meaning.  Having learned the meeting, I am surprised the word isn't used on our forums




trite
/trīt/

adjective
(of a remark, opinion, or idea) overused and consequently of little import; lacking originality or freshness.
"this point may now seem obvious and trite"

Well, there is a method to my madness (good or bad). If I have a yellow "e" out of place. I assume it's at the end of the word which puts a different vowel in the middle of the word. Secondly, I then think of two consonant beginnings (CH, CL, PH, TH, etc.) and since I had the "r", I figured it has to be combined with another letter, so I thought of CR, WR, PR, DR, and was going to go with DRIVE, but at the last minute, when with drone. Having the "r" in the right place meant it was either PR or WR and I went with PRIME. AFter that it was pretty obvious that it was WRITE, but it wasn't and TRITE is the only word I could come up with that a letter was left to use 

I shoulda (coulda, woulda) gone with WRITE instead of PRIME, but it's still a guessing game when you don't have a lot of knowns

We definitely have very similar methods of choosing words to guess. After my starting word, the word that immediately popped into my head was TRIKE. I thought of a few more words to try but was mostly looking at placing the 'R' in the 4th position. Only thing I could think of was 'SPIRE' but since the 'S' was gray, SPIRE was ruled out.

Don't buy *a* lottery ticket... buy 6! 

First I've got to replace the hot water heater.

Also had to buy new tires for my car.

Any good numbers to play??

A word I never heard before. Still have no knowledge of what it means. It was a situation where I knew where 4 of the letters went but had to try different letters until I finally hit the right letter. I think the easy words are taking a break

Edit to add:

Very tough, after 3 guesses only having one out of place letter.   I knew the word, but I forgot it had an unusual spelling

I had all the letters with my first 3 guesses, but spent a good 10 minutes trying to rearrange them into a real word. Tough word.
