I think I never did that bad before…

I just looked at my performance on that one. I did not cover myself in glory. 
A long time ago, in a class I had in which class participation was fairly important, the professor let us know in advance that he was going to try to be fair about class participation. He said he wasn’t going to play a game of “Guess What’s on My Mind Today.”
Sometimes these _____dle-type games do sort of seem like “Guess What’s on the Game Author’s Mind Today.”
So it’s not a reflection on us.
Now, there are people who consistently do better at this game than I do. But I’ve also been in group situations in which just about everyone seemed smarter than I was, but the day sometimes came when they gave me a surprised look, and somebody said, “How in the hell did you do that?” or “How in the hell did you know that?”
So we’re a mixed bag. And that’s probably not a bad thing, usually.

Yes, you are correct.
Sometimes, there’s also too may similar words, like today…

I hear ya. That’s frustrating, because it introduces a strong element of luck into the game.

Finally!

The lower right-hand corner word repeatedly, completely, slipped my mind. I was at a loss for what to do next, but I had three tries left, so I tried a word that had an impermissible letter, in hopes of scaring up a letter or two. No dice. Then I tried odd combinations that I thought probably weren’t real words, again in hopes of scaring up a letter or two. Turns out one of the tries was a real word, and an odd word at that, but not the right word. Of course this was kind of disappointing at first, but then I realized the word that could be formed with the new clues I’d been given.
And then I was like, “Why didn’t I think of that word to begin with? It’s certainly not rare.”

I was in the same path as you, but couldn’t find that word…

It’s not the first time I saw the top right one, but every time I guessed the wrong word with the same letters.
Luckily I got it right now

Well, you beat the crap outta me.
I was stumped. Sometimes I just can’t make out the word. When this happens, I sometimes plug in a word, even one that I know won’t work, to see if I can get some letters to show up. (I’m not affirmatively recommending doing that; I’m not sure it’s been such a good idea.) This time, when I used one of those hopefully-triggering words, it didn’t seem to help much. And I was getting close to my guess limit.
Maybe I should have drunk more coffee, but that can sometimes get me to the point of bouncing off the walls, and that doesn’t usually result in a good Wordle/Scholardle/ Quordle/Waffle experience.

The bottom left and top right are just rude words for a game like this.

Indeed. They insert luck factor in a game that could be just skills.

It’s always nice to get a 4/5/6/7 sequence!
