1571 5/6 stare , child ,y, bloom ,y,G, pylon ,GGGG nylon GGGGG Oooops! I see the brilliant editor suppresses consecutive commas! 1572 4/6 stare ,y, daily ,y,G agony G,yyG annoy GGGGG I think AGONY was a bad guess. This is a family-friendly game; the editor wouldn’t want to annoy a solver who plays the game to relieve agonizing pain! (Similarly I wonder if ABUSE was a bad guess on the recent AMUSE Wordle.) 1573 6/6 stare ,yy, wrong ,y, rural ,Gy, parka ,GG, march .GG,y hardy GGGGG I have the bad habit of just picking the word I first think of that fits. Is there a trick for drawing the green and yellow squares quickly? ---

@Gordon_G Lots of people have start words they use every day. I try to have a start word that uses β€œWheel of Fortune” consonants. L S T R N. Your start word is good. There is an easy way to β€œshow your puzzle” by picking SHARE and clicking the copy icon, then pasting here. ---
