I wonder if it's a regional thing, but I would never refer to a casserole as a vessel for cooking. A casserole is the food itself. Also, while I am familiar with the Oscar Mayer brand, I don't think I have ever heard anyone refer to baloney as "Oscar."
On your last guess you shouldve gone with BAND/CIRCLE and chose one to exclude out of HOOP/O/RING! You wouldve had a 1 in 3 chance of getting at least one more category but the info given previously makes BAND/HOOP/STATUETTE/RING impossible

I was really disappointed when BLADE turned out to not be on the list, I was really hoping we’d finally seen proof that the list had been reset. …Although when that does finally happen (if it hasn’t already) it very possibly won’t be an all-at-once reset. Quite possibly after, say, five years, they’ll start a thing where every day the oldest word on the used word list is taken off that list and put back in the pool of words eligible to be randomly selected. With only one word a day being put back in the pool it will likely be a VERY long time before any word comes up a second time, and if the NYT remains opaque about the process the public will never really know how big the pool of potential words is or what’s in it. So enjoy your little (enormous) list while you can, Art, one way or another it’s days of usefulness are numbered.
The Academy Awards/Oscars give out the Oscar statuette originally a nickname and now the actual term for the physical award. The O is just the NATO phonetic alphabet Oscar as someone else said. If you don't know the statuette or murphy bed then puzzle is really hard as you encountered.
Classic Aha moment today. I quickly cleared green and yellow (it never really occurred for me to put O in the yellow category) and was left with light blue and purple. I knew CANOPY MURPHY and BUNK were beds but I couldn't find the 4th (In fact I saw this when first opened the puzzle). I was just about to pick STATUETTE for the 4th bed until I got the Aha moment on Purple. I saw all of those as Oscars, allowing me to decide that a SLEIGH bed is a thing.

Sorry, Art, maybe I jinxed it yesterday with my comments about getting back to 95%. Now you're on 93%.😢 If it's any consolation, I failed Connections too (with lines of thought similar to yours) so I dropped to 94%. 😔
Never heard of any of those beds apart from bunk (look up canopy bed and it shows a four poster bed?) How on earth does "Oscar" relate to "baloney"? I vaguely remember Oscar the Grouch and see the phonetic alphabet meaning
There’s a canopy above the bed, held in place by those four posts. Oscar Myer ran a commercial from 1973 straight through the 1980’s of a little kid sitting on a dock and singing “My baloney has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R…”
It's from Oscar Mayer, the lunch meat brand. For decades they had an advertising jingle that names their baloney "Oscar". I'm sure it would be the first youtube hit if you're interested.
@@Jason820 did it ever exist in the UK? I should have mentioned I'm from there. I doubt it because we don't even call the meat "baloney" (it's "polony"). That one is a load of, er, baloney to us. If "canopy bed", "Murphy bed" and "sleigh bed" are used here they aren't at all common names. Murphy bed looks like a brand name

After your first Wordle guess, you were left with only 1 possible word
Oscar is part of the NATO radio alphabet
Hard one for sure.
I wonder if it's a regional thing, but I would never refer to a casserole as a vessel for cooking. A casserole is the food itself.
Also, while I am familiar with the Oscar Mayer brand, I don't think I have ever heard anyone refer to baloney as "Oscar."
You are right! Casserole is the food, not the dish. But sometimes we have to make allowances for their trickery.
Murphy beds are the ones you pull out of the wall
It was the same two words for me in Wordle - but didn't take me as long as I never remember past answers.
I got green and yellow and was looking fur Oscars but ran out of guesses. Lost my streak of one 😂
On your last guess you shouldve gone with BAND/CIRCLE and chose one to exclude out of HOOP/O/RING! You wouldve had a 1 in 3 chance of getting at least one more category but the info given previously makes BAND/HOOP/STATUETTE/RING impossible
Thank you! I am going to start paying a lot more attention to the logic of the game when I'm in a difficult situation.

The NATO thing is probably right for the meaning of O but basketball player Oscar Robertson was known as “Big O” so that was my first thought.
I was so proud when I figured out the purple one being Oscar stuff
memories are not reliable. I never trust my memory of past answers.
The beds tripped me up too

A bit of overthinking, Art ? :)
Ha ha i thought maybe it was a blade of GRASS ?
I assume you got it confused with grass
I stand corrected
