Wordle 955 4/6

🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛  
🟨⬛🟩🟩⬛  
⬛🟨🟩🟩🟩  
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

PLANT  
LOPES  
REPEL  
EXPEL

This one made me chuckle. When repel wasn’t the answer I was stumped for a second. Not having any idea what it could be, I just started typing in what I knew with X as a placeholder to see if something jumped out at me. Meaning I typed in EXPEL _oh now I see it._

At least it was a nice normal one instead of an all-day word search odyssey.
