Sorry.
Spoiler:
Lucky opener.
delta is a strong opening guess. And it was extraordinarily lucky today. You’ve eliminated all but four of the words in my dictionary: draft, daunt, datum or ducat.

Went with DATUM.

Spoiler:
All of my guesses are as legit as the solution until I tried DRACK for 5/6 (when I'd already long lost to GoCubsGo). I didn't even know that it's a word. Turns out it's Swedish for past drinking:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/drack
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dricka#Swedish

Or, an unattractive woman, a mayfly, a shortening of the name of a Greek coin, or to drench.
https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/? ... es&q=drack

Who knew? Then, I tried DRAPY, which Wordle accepted when I can't find anyone who says it's a real word. :headscratch: That may have cost me a point, if the solution would have come to me after DRAPY was rejected. :ateeth:

I tried DRAIN, DRAWL, DRAMA, DRACK. Your list doesn't include DRAPY, either, even though it has several oddballs. Wordle screwed me.

Mine are in order, too. That's :crazy: that our first 3 match exactly. Mediocre minds think alike, too. ;)

Spoiler:
DRAIN - WoF + the I
DRAWL - WoF
DRAMA - Double A, + M is pretty common
If I could have thought of a T word, I would have. Believe me, I tried before all else. Maybe if Wordle hadn't screwed me by accepting DRAPY. ;)

Tough one.

Avg solve was 5.0, even wordlebot took five tries.

20.5% bust rate.
