STALE  
STALL  
STALK - 5  
FREAK  
BREAK - 7  
AWASH - 8  
DECOY

Denied! That first trap really hamstrung me, and then I really wanted to guess break before freak but I saw freak first. I actually would have gone with break anyway, but with what [just happened for me in the regular world game](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wordle-a-strangely-compelling-word-game-part-2/981659/253) (spoiler) I felt like the universe was telling me to stick with freak. Turns out the universe was fucking with me.

For the last word (nothing but an E!) I was down to DECOY and MOVED and opted for decoy because it’s not a generic past tense. What the fuck is a covey? I call bullshit. I’m not saying this was a bullshit loss; this had loss written all over it for me from the get-go. I’m saying covey specifically is a bullshit word for the answer list.

Incidentally, when I started using this style of hard mode rules, before I had played the first game this puzzle is exactly how I expected it to go around half the time. So no harm no foul, except for covey. (And of course google is mocking me by properly interpreting it when I say it.)
