Some Strands puzzles guide you gently. This one throws you straight onto the track. At first glance, “Ready, set, go!” feels simple.

Some Wordle puzzles feel obvious. Today’s doesn’t. At first, everything looks clean. Common letters. Familiar structure. A pattern that feels easy to solve. Then suddenly—you hit a wall.
