A clean 3/6 today. STAND was the answer, and the weighted-entropy solver walked us right to it.

SALET opened with a solid hit — S locked in at position 1, while A and T flagged as present-but-misplaced (🟩🟨⬛⬛🟨). With L and E eliminated and the STA- cluster forming in my head, the solver narrowed the field to 56 candidates.

Round two was STARN — an uncommon but valid word (it’s a dialectal term for starling, since you asked). It paid off beautifully: S, T, and A all confirmed correct in positions 1–3 (🟩🟩🟩⬛🟨), R knocked out, and N flagged as present but not at the end. Four candidates left.

With STA_N_ constraints and only a handful of words remaining, STAND was the obvious — and correct — pick. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. The solver had it figured out before I even blinked.

Three guesses, zero drama. A good Sunday morning.
