'We THINK that the COAST EXALTEd as we LEAPT away from the DRAFT.'

[RossReedstrom]

CHOIR - PLATE - EXALT - I often type in with an X place holder: decided to try E first, typed it and went "Oh, yeah, , is that really it?"

[roiporat]

Mark’s opening word sequence currently:

TRUTH KNOWN VIEWS FIRST FIXED MINDS OTHER THEIR HEARD ABOUT TAKEN CRIED YOUNG LARGE NORTH PLACE HOUSE THING GIRLS VISIT COMES WHICH STILL MIGHT PARTY WOMAN SHARE CASES OFTEN THINK

Theme: The 5-letter words from Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice”, in order (SHARE and WOMAN were accidentally switched)

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”
“But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it WOULD be for one of them.

MARVEL CHARACTERS ALPHABETICALLY DAY 17:
FIXER-EXTOL-EXALT

You're surprised, Mark? Imagine how surprised I was when I got a yellow X!

[Waniou]

SPEAK - ENACT - EXALT, so thanks many Sundays at church growing up for being the only reason I even know that exalt is a word

[johnlewis]

I had the E, A, L and T in position and put in an X as a placeholder and thought that’ll do

[tarunyadav]

I don't remember by guesses but i remember figuring out every place except the second one and the word "exalt" would just no come to my mind

[TinkerTailor]

Not "I think, therefore I am" but "I get a yellow T"!😄

[ZorlockDarksoul]

CHAOS -> FLAME -> DEALT -> EXALT

Pretty straightforward, despite the uncommon letter.

[Epyxoid]

I like Mark's reaction to LEAPT 😂

[cleeveharmony]

Think - stave - leapt - exalt for 4 for me!

[AndywHall]

I got this in 4. I tried EXALT just to amuse myself because I've been playing XCOM recently and there's a faction called Exalt in that game

[blissfulbarbie]

Got it in 4 but had to think for a whiiile before getting it. X tends to be a letter I never even consider until way to late. :D
SWIFT - GREAT - CADET - EXALT

[ScorpioPK]

I went RAISE->METAL->AGLET and I was dumbfounded. Whenever I know where some of the letters go, I write them and put "X" in the unknown spots. So I wrote "EXALT" and looked at it for a minute, unable to understand what letter could come there. Obviously, I felt dumb after I realized I only needed to press ENTER.

[blcmd]

THINK-SLATE-DEALT-EXALT. Next up, we’ll see if WOULD would be a good starting word.

[EvanSawyer]

Stare > Enact > Exalt

Stare set me up for success here. X is a letter I start considering after try 4 usually

[Vitar]

Again, the same number of steps as Mark made.

[Phoethegreat]

Slate --> Dealt ---> Exalt is what I got
