That blue category tripped me up today. Had three of the four down pat and knew what they wanted, but guessed wrong on the fourth and then it dawned on me about final word and I was like I knew that. I Should have thought on it for a longer time. Impatience is an enemy in this game. I try to fly through wordle, but this game is different.

This! I see words that are perfect at first glance but have to pump the brakes hard. Worst is when a word could work for two categories. And they always use it in the more obscure usage, bastahds!

The trouble with this game is that you can be right but still wrong.

That one word that didn't seem to fit ... I ended up looking up it's definition hoping for something new, that didn't tell me anything I didn't know, but it did make me think about things in another way.
