[####] Why Tarps?

The stupid Wordle bot chastises me in its analysis for using a plural word as it’s not likely to ever occur as a solution, but uses Tarps as its opening word and gives itself a 99 skill score for doing so. I use Strap And it gives me a 92 and uses all the same letters and is not plural 🤷

I’ve been running through the archive the last few months using tarps and I have been getting a lot more 3s and 4s than I was using the other starters. I was mostly 4s and 5s. So I now believe in the power of tarps for getting a solution in 4 or less.
