With the MICKY guess, I was just checking for I and Y and other letters I didn't have yet, and I was actually a little surprised that it was accepted -- I had tried RICHY first, but that wasn't allowed. When I did the WordleBot analysis, it said, "Impressive vocabulary!" I got that response once before when I entered a word that I wasn't sure was really a word and didn't know the meaning of, so that made me curious enough to look up the definition: It's an informal British term meaning "tease or ridicule someone." Just a reminder that the original author is British, which explains some of the oddness in word choices. I remember one puzzle that had a very high percentage of wipeouts because it was a British word (I don't remember what it was) that most Americans didn't know. It's also a reminder that there's no penalty for entering dubious words, and sometimes it helps.

NYT average: 4.2
WordleBot: 4 (SLATE RALLY MINED MANLY)

4. 3.

I often guess Y after an L match, and it helped today. Somewhat lucky to get the answer in three tries. Considered LANKY.
