Why it could be tricky
The pattern _LIDE also fits ELIDE and GLIDE. With L, I, D and E in place, only one spot is left to settle, and each wrong try rules out one word at a time. A guess that tests several of those letters at once can settle it sooner.
What it means
slide verb · To move smoothly along a surface without lifting off it.
Editor's note
A closer look at SLIDE
SLIDE can be a verb, a playground feature, or a presentation page. Its initial SL and ending DE give it a different shape from similar motion words such as GLIDE.
What one guess would tell you
SLATE against SLIDE 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.
