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.

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.

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

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

Spoiler:

We were very similar! My guesses were (in order) DRAIN, DRAWL, DRAMA, DRAGS and then finally the correct answer.

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

You guys were forgetting your WoF letters.

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.

Yuck.
