Wordlebot was quick to point out that SLATE was a lucky guess since there were still nine possible solutions, but I noticed it didn't mention anything about its own good luck.

All skill, of course.

Another reason for me to appreciate my change of starter word, from CRANE to SLATE, a few weeks ago.

Edit: I considered joking today that I finally decided to use a different starter word instead of SLATE.

But I've had the best two weeks at this game for me, ever!

One 1 (today, obviously)
Twelve 3's
One 4

That's 15 "under par" for the last 14 games!

Now that I've jinxed myself, I'll probably get a 5 or 6 tomorrow.

A lot of people have been starting with slate.

I had to start with an H, because I always use
the spelling bee letter.

It took me four tries.

Used "taken" to check for slate and slake; would have liked to also check for slave: can anyone think of a 5 letter word containing T, K, V? Tyvek was all I could think of, but product name. Others?

In your case, checking for K and T was sufficient. If neither letter was a match, then solve with the V.
