It's a natural phenomenon, sometimes a disaster.
It's measured in magnitudes.
Here’s a strategic approach to reaching the solution:
Play LEASH: This starter word is a good choice as it turns 'A' green (correct position) and 'E' yellow (correct letter, wrong position). This immediately gives us two crucial vowels and one letter in its final spot.
Then, WAKES: Building on the 'A' and 'E', using 'WAKES' is a strategic move. This turns three letters yellow: A, K, E, indicating they are in the word but not in their exact positions yet (reconfirming 'A' and 'E' are present, and adding 'K'). Note: The provided expert walkthrough might have a slight discrepancy in its initial steps given the final answer, so we'll adapt for clarity. Let's assume the 'A' from LEASH was confirmed green and 'E' yellow.
Try QUAIL: With the knowledge of 'A' and 'E' (and the first hint about 'Q'), a word like 'QUAIL' becomes a very strong next guess. This turns 'Q', 'U', and 'A' green, locking them into place. With 'QUA_ _', and knowing 'E' is in the word, the only remaining possible position for 'E' is the last one.
