I got Wordle in one today

But I'm a little unsure how to feel

I received a message from someone out of the blue saying "Have you done Wordle today?"

I don't do Wordle much nowadays, but this person knows I use the same starting word every time

So yeah,

I got Wordle in one.

@rhettrospective Thanks Rhett! There was a typo in the clue. Should have been "Think back"

Re 4A, I suppose it could be "for king's house?" - probably smoother.

I'm putting this clue in the Saturday Paper in coming weeks, even though I know not many readers will know who Stuart Dew is.
