FLN, Misty, that makes sense, your last posting.
It's the same strategy I use; I don't imagine there's another way to do it.
Hints tend to work consciously and unconsciously. Brains are funny that way.
It would be good of you to leave a hint behind.

Wordle seems to be running out of 5 letter words or is making them more and more obscure

Yes, great hint WC.
Nice work OMK to get Wordle in three guesses today. Did you use a hint?
The Blog of Reality
After they marry
Chet and Lois hope to make their getaway
To a tropical isle.
Dreams of a yacht and omega watch
May change to a rotary phone
Tethered by wiring.
"Wedding Setting"
Alpha and Omega was their lot
the day they entered that yacht.
They were greeted by a notary
who was hired their judge to be
on the answer they were inquiring:
was their marriage ready for wiring.
He gave them his blessing that day
and sent them on their "marry" way.
Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Unable to convert AC to DC, it is hard to see now,
sailing through the dark of night…)
“They’re Wary, Mate!”
Α/Ω,
bow to stern, the yacht’s wiring
rotary’s gone black.
~ OMK
No need, CEh!
I had no luck, zero, nil, on my usual first try,
so my new try used both vowels (incl “y”) & cons not in my opener.
It had to strike gold, so naturally did!
As my hint, I left a variation of yesterday’s.
Your poem is fun…
Yanking on their fanciful dreams with the reality of a tethered phone is a neat metaphor!
Misty ~ You & I went for the alpha/omega contrast, from end to end—but yours as a sign of marriage. Fun to think of their union as “ready for wiring”!
I don’t need to ask if you caught the Spoonerism in my title.
~ OMK
OMK- your Spoonerism title is wonderful. I tried for a Spoonerism using the Wordle in my title, but it is very weak to say the least!
And I could not produce any rhymes today.
Plus great work on your Wordle solve without a hint. Sometimes your first guess can make or break the solve.
Misty- what a beautiful wedding setting for your couple. I hope their “wiring” doesn’t tether them excessively.
Good for you, Misty!
Perseverance pays, when Luck's on holiday.
And your name alone is a hint worth leaving.
A reminder that after an effortful solve, the brain's haze may linger....
~ OMK
Great work Misty! You are getting the hang of it.
Ah, CEh! Buț you did get a rhyme--in your title!
True Spoonerisms are rare critters. Even mine today is off a bit--because of the added "t," ending "Mate."
A real Spooner could only be "May."
That wouldn't make any sense, of course--unless the speaker was addressing someone with that name!
But, then, personal names are usually a cop-out. Readers know that intuitively.

Great to start the day with all those delightful Wordle's from Wilbur and Ol' Man Keith, and CanadianEh!--even made me want to give it a try.
And then lots of neat poetry all around. CanadianEh! I loved your giving Chet and Lois a dream of getting on a yacht for that trip to a tropical isle. That would be a lovely honeymoon coming true for them!
But let's just hope that their yacht won't end up in the dark, like OMK's yacht with the wiring having gone out. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Looking forward to good news all around tomorrow.
[Nora is asking the couple about the coming wedding]
"Lois, in your own way, tell me about marrying and the honeymoon
Back in the foyer I mentioned that five digit figure that can be fine-tuned
Earlier I heard your Canadian friend float the idea of a yacht to Aruba"
[Lois responds]
"That's the alpha and omega of our hopes, snorkeling near Cuba "
[Charles chimes in]
"That's a splendid idea and I'm wired in at the Rotary club in town
There's nothing hotter than relaxing on the beach near old Kingstown
Our annual meeting and banquet takes place in a couple of weeks
With the connections I have you'll surely have the noneymoon you seek
WC
Anybody care to guess at the four J's and riddle-solution I embedded from Wednesday?
Also, it looks like Misty doesn't need any hints on the Wordle
I try to fill spaces so when I paste in the daily Wordle I won't inadvertently hit Publish

Wilbur ~ I love reading about Lois' hopes for the honeymoon.
But I get a special kick outta their sense of Caribbean geography. If she plans to snorkel near Cuba, she'll have a hard time doing it way down in Aruba!
And then Charles chips in with his idea of helping them to a beach in "old Kingstown." If I'm not mistaken, that's over in the Grenadines, near Barbados. Perhaps he means Kingston, in Jamaica, which is at least a few hundred miles closer.
But maybe it's that they're all in the spirit of a Caribbean holiday! --where just about anywhere they lay their bodies can be a treat!
~ OMK
What fun to see all four J words and solution in your delightful verse, Wilbur--what a fun way to wind down our exciting, "artful," day.
Misty, not only 4 Tuesday J's but four more from Wednesday. Can you guess them plus the Wednesday riddle-solution?
