Depends on whether they are vegetarian or teetotalers …

Who says there is alcohol in the glass? And, of course, people in NY are vegetarians.
TOAST could also refer to a browned piece of sliced bread. Probably a more common use in the end. At least it was my first association…

Also, when it is said that someone is TOAST, it means that they are done for, kaput or more colloquially in deep doodoo.

Having your talk ROASTed at a conference certainly doesn’t carry positive connotations either …

disclaimer - I did look at the used words for this one
There are only 4 words in total that satisfy the *OAST pattern. 2 had already been used, but chances are you already had some excluded with the gray squares anyway?
 
Very few words to choose from after my seed word. o_O o_O o_O

Those are not among the possible the Wordle solutions, which is the relevant metric here.
I am not sure you are correct there. They are possible in Octordle so they must be possible in Wordle. Are you willing to risk your streak to prove me wrong?

Possible as a guess but not possible as an answer (in Wordle at least).
Agreed. I was responding to the statement that

My reply #6,314 was hasty.

5 left after ALERT. No perfect filter. REFIT, REMIT, RIVET had E(S) = 2.

The initial filter gave 3 candidates BOAST COAST TOAST none of which could serve as a filter for the others and makes it a guaranteed 5. The same 3 are obtained after the first 2 guesses. This illustrates the inefficiency of the assured solution method for some of the words.

We seem to have evolved into the same algorithm, as replaying the game with your seed, I get the same subsequent filters and result.

What do you get if you use my seed: ECLAT
FIRNS was my second filter, which resulted in only 1 solution.

Drat! The choice among 8 was between the 2nd guess and the actual solution …

1/8 of solving in 2, the guess could have left a group of 3. The remaining 4 would be filtered.
