Editor's note
A closer look at WREST
WREST often appears as “wrest control from” someone. It is not WRESTLE shortened in casual speech; it is its own verb with five letters and a WR opening, where W is not pronounced.
What one guess would tell you
STARE against WREST 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.
