Wordle 1,852 2/6

🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜steal
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩pshaw

NY Times average 4.7 and Wordlebot in 4.

I suspect this requires an explanation. I've said previously that I use Try Hard guides to generate a list of possible word solutions, which I then check against a list of previous answers. Some people think that's cheating, but there are no rules against it. I also consider solving the puzzle an exercise in executive function, which requires using resources at hand for problem solving.
That said, after the first word, there were only two possible answers given the configuration of letters and elimination of others. One answer had recently been used, so I went with pshaw.
