Editor's note
A closer look at SHADY
SHADY has a literal sense (“a shady tree”) and a figurative one (“a shady deal”). Both are common. The final Y changes SHADE into an adjective with a different spelling.
What one guess would tell you
SLATE against SHADY 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.
