Yet another solution word which is completely contained within UHF-10. Happily, the previously mentioned UHF-10 pair, LASER + TONIC , would have been a spectacular choice today. See option #5 in post 90 of this thread.
Ultra high frequency letters? Curiosity wins... looking it up
Yes, the ten most used letters in common American English.
UHF-10 (named by humble self) are the ten most frequently appearing letters appearing in the "Permissible 5 letter guesses" dictionary uploaded by Josh Wardle to git-hub, before the NYT takeover. View the dictionary below. There's a post about UHF-10 in the early pages of this Forum Thread. The dictionary reflects Josh Wardle's idiosyncratic and personal tastes (example: Wardle FORBIDS plural words ending in S! There Shall Be None! Nichts!!) rather than any publicly available source of common American English.
Curiously, Wardle separated "permissible guesses but NOT SOLUTION WORDS" from "permissible solution words". The former is attached below but not the latter.
This separation must have been helpful when he was developing the original Wordle software (??)

I know it's no consolation, but on a recent Octordle, I got just 3 out of 8 because I was stuck on:
_ A _ E R
_ A _ E R
That's brutal you guys.
Oh well tomorrow's another day. Time to move on.

Mental blocks. Ever heard of them?
Let me explain.
Final guess on a recent Octordle, one word to go, struggling.
I start to put random letters in there just to see the pattern.
Getting closer.
I come upon a word I'm sure is correct.
APPLY
Except I am pronouncing it as though I was describing the taste of a fruit. APPLEY.
Took near a full minute for the lighbulb to go on.
