Word Junkie's Notes

How hard was this one?

Difficulty: Medium (2 out of 5)

A fair, middle-of-the-road puzzle. Read your colors carefully and it should come together.

I rate each puzzle by how common its letters are, whether any repeat, and how many lookalike words it has, compared with every word in the original Wordle answer list. The rating never names a letter.
