Oooops! I see the brilliant editor suppresses consecutive commas!

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.)

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?

Lots of people have start words they use every day. I try to have a start word that uses “Wheel of Fortune” consonants. L S T R N. Your start word is good.

There is an easy way to “show your puzzle” by picking SHARE and clicking the copy icon, then pasting here.

I thought a placed D would be a very helpful start, and maybe it would have been if I were more careful. Instead, it just goaded me into a series of poor choices.
Taking the bogey and moving on.
