Apparently there were two valid guesses on the last guess, and I picked the wrong one.

Oh no! My new theory is that while R and T are the two most common letters in the game, it's a mistake to play them in your starting word because they can trap you in several different ways. If your third guess or fifth guess had come back ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩, you'd have been in bad shape there too. Your remaining guesses were great, but luck didn't go your way.

Using those two is definitely a bad strategy. But at this point I'm committed to it until I get it. My last starting word was PIANO, which was great. But I eventually got it as the word of the day.
