I REALLY overthought this one. After guess 2 'SMILE' was the obvious choice. However, since it was #830's solution and we've never had a repeat that late yet I decided to see if ANY other word would work there. I ended up with 'SPILE'. (Look it up.) Obviously, I regret everything. Stupid Tracy, stupid repeats. (#830 / #1806)
To add insult to injury, here is Wordlebot's evaluation of my guess #3:
There was only one possible solution left β and this wasn't it. spile is a valid guess and you have a great vocabulary, but Wordle typically uses more common words as solutions.
