Today I got it in three.
Y w w w w I decided not to use my second random word but..... I ended up using a second random word....anyway. Just not mine.
w w w G w
Got it on 3.
That 4th was an important get because it narrowed things down considerably. I only had 5 things that could fit it with both the yellow letter somewhere and that Green 4th letter. But which to go with? Then I remembered..... Well that's a nice vocabulary but it's not a possible solution from wordlebot yesterday. So I eliminated all but two as probably not possible. As it turns out, wordlebot says there was only one solution possible.
So.... I got it.
