Editor's note
A closer look at DRYLY
DRYLY has two Y tiles but none of A, E, I, O or U. In ordinary pronunciation, the Y characters carry vowel sounds. That distinction matters because the site vowel counter uses only the five traditional vowel letters.
What one guess would tell you
ROUND against DRYLY would produce the colors shown above. Green means the correct letter and spot; yellow means a letter elsewhere in the word; gray means no unused copy of that letter remains. This is a calculated example, not a recorded player's guess.
