Wordle nerd alert!
I'm not sure I've ever seen it before, but Wordlebot and I both had the same word left after our second guesses. Looking at the words more closely, I realized that our first two guesses were kind of a mixed up anagram, having used the exact same 10 letters, in 4 unique words.

Upon further examination, I discovered it was the fact that we both also had the 4th letter correct, which narrowed it down to the single answer.
