pretty much. unscrambleit says radon was a slightly better guess (2.657 guesses left) than rayon (2.671), though both were in the top 10. I wanted to get the D in there, so i went for the deadly gas instead of the soft fabric
I had luckily used a D in my second guess and ruled it out so by the time I got to RA___ with a known N I only had the one choice left for par that I could think of.

Your previous guess was RANDY, wasn't it?

I guess I did. I didn't even think of RAYON until it was the only possible word I could make. RADON was a guess that worked out nicely.

I lost the RADON/RAYON coin flip for a shot at three.
As has become my custom lately, I thought of the eventual correct answer first but changed to RADON which I judged more likely when I had an inkling that RAYON might be a brand name.

My streak is at 146, 23 from my longest streak of 169.

Guess distribution is
1: 1
2: 36
3: 167
4: 256
5: 114
6: 24
Busts: 4

Puts me at 99%. Always watching 2s vs. 6s and 3s vs. 5s.

My second guess indicates that I may be an idiot.

Regardless, in my current run of wordling, I’ve only got two busts in 239 games played. So at least there’s that.

Aaaand I’ll probably bust tomorrow, having massively jinxed myself today.
