I always started with pious and then a couple weeks ago - it was the word! Very nice start to the day, but hard to find a new starting word.

Great quiz, nominated! I would remove sixty from the ones showing for 'contains an X' to avoid showing an answer for 'contains an X and a Y', making the quiz more challenging.

That was fun! Excluding Y from voweldom withered my soul slightly, but it’s nice to see that playing Wordle every day with my elderly parents has given me a superb 5-letter recall.

Very good quiz! For some reason "zeal" works for the "z" clue, though.
