"Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 2)

I did not like this one. A trap word for Hard Mode players.

ARISE is statistically my best opener since I’ve been keeping track, and it was a good one today.
A_I_E looks like a trap, but it wasn’t really. The presence/absence/position of the L in ALIKE was enough to ensure a three. (Unless it was ANIME, but I really didn’t think it would be ANIME.)

Statistically, RADIO is my worst starting word since I’ve been keeping track, and it just got a little worse. But given today’s answer, that wasn’t the starting word’s fault; I’ll keep it in the rotation for now.
I didn’t discover the trap until three, which had me worried. And finding a good sleuth word at that point was tough. Hitting on the Z saved me from a six or possible fail. Good luck to all of you in hard mode!

Hung on to my streak today. Only just. What a miserable word!
