Reviewgeek found a guy who hacked Wordle and found "roate" to be the best... TreasonousBastard Jan 2022 #10
The online dictionary I use doesn't recognize roate as a word. CrispyQ Jan 2022 #12
But, apparently Wordle does. (although I haven't checked) TreasonousBastard Jan 2022 #13
I had to google it. CrispyQ Jan 2022 #14
After you questioned it, so did I, and I found much more than I really wanted to know. TreasonousBastard Jan 2022 #15

If you posted your results on Twitter, this bot would respond "rudely" and tell you the next day's word.
