It took me forever to accept this answer. I found the word quite early but tried everything else first. There just wasn’t anything else.

Despite admitting there was no other word except the answer after IMPLY, it made sure to point out I’d have been in trouble if the answer had been IONIC. Yeah, but it wasn’t, was it? Stupid WordleBot. ---
