Excellent choice β€” PLUMB is exactly what I would’ve picked in this situation. You’ve narrowed it down to only four words: DUMMY, GUMMY, MUMMY or YUMMY.

:roll: Of course you made the 1 in 4 choice ftw.
Spoiler:

:angry-banghead: I considered GUMMY as early as 2/6, but overthought it as being unlikely for Wordle.

Why is PLUMB "exactly what (Wordle) would’ve picked" when there were 4 other options - 1 correct and 3 which would've "narrowed it down" even further than PLUMB did?

Good point. Maybe because it used more letters? -0-?

:-|| I never would have beaten 2 minutes. Too bad I didn't read this article first:
Jill Biden Sums Up Donald Trump With 1 Withering Word

... On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s β€œThe View,” co-host Joy Behar asked the first lady what Democrats have to do to get across that her husband, President Joe Biden, is β€œcompetent, alert and doing the job and it’s not about his age.”

β€œThe other one,” Behar said, referring to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, β€œis doddery, doesn’t remember anything and can’t put a sentence together, and has brain farts in the middle of a paragraph, and they go after Joe.”
:---P
Jill Biden argued that this election isn’t about age, despite the attempts of some conservative figures ― including Trump himself ― to portray Biden as in cognitive decline.

Biden will be 81 and Trump will be 78 when the November election takes place, she pointed out, saying: β€œThey’re basically the same age.”

β€œThis election is about character,” she added.

β€œYou have two choices,” she continued. β€œYou have my husband, Joe, who you all know, who has integrity. He’s strong, he’s steady, he’s a leader, he’s smart, he’s energetic.”

Then, in one word, the first lady summed up Trump.
Spoiler:
β€œOr you have chaos,” she said, drawing applause from the audience.

β€œYes, you have chaos,” she repeated.

ORATE was a solid guess, and a lucky one. There is just one possible solution left, as far as I can tell. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

I was thisclose to typing in SCARY as 2/6, but at the last second decided on another WoF letter but didn't want to double letter the T.

Back when I only used three or four starter words, STARE was a mainstay. Glad I didn't use it as I'm sure I would've gone with START for 2/6.

I pretty much use a different starter every day always using two vowels and at least one WoF letter. I think that's roughly when I started getting hotter.
