2 days in a row that I've failed to guess the word. Not a great start to the year.

Hard to believe.
I analyzed the twenty most popular seed words that Wordlebot listed and 3 of them(GREAT, AROSE & SOARE) yielded only 1 remaining choice. 4% of all players guessed 'STARE' which left only 2 choices. 'STEAM' yielded 3. 'TEARS' and 'HEART' both left 4 choices. Interestingly, 'ADIEU', which is the #1 seed word, played by 8% of Wordlers, was by far the worst choice on the list, leaving 187 choices.

Getting the last two letters first helped a lot in this case.
