Then when I went to delete the letters I accidentally hit return instead of backspace, and apparently bingy is a word. Again I blame quordle for having the backspace and enter keys on opposite sides as wordle. Didn’t affect my score any; I wasn’t thinking \_INDY at all. It’s highly likely I would have actually guessed dingy for the same result. ---
