TREAD left me with 146 words and just one yellow box, so that could have been better.
HOIST (which the Wordle Bot told me afterwards was exactly the word it would have picked) slashed that number to 7, but I still had just two yellow boxes.
I thought MINTY sounded nice, so I went with that. Unfortunately, it was not a great guess, leaving me with four options to choose from. I guessed WITTY and lucky for me, that was the Wordle.
