I swear I used the archive 3 hours ago.
Nevermind, it was another archive.

Had heard an anecdote related to the famous lexicographer Samuel Johnson. Once he met a novelist and said that all the words in that novel are taken from his book, because Johnson had indeed compiled a dictionary, a lexicon.
Now all the words in the word list of NYT will indeed be taken from Samuel Johnson's lexicon, compiled more than 200 years ago. Except for those words introduced into English since then. How can NYT stake claims for the word list?

This was close, but I got it in 4:
🟨⬜⬜🟩🟨
🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜
🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ After the second guess, I have four letters I know the position of ... so one to go. Trouble is, I can think of nine words that it could be, all with a different first letter ... Thankfully, I found a word that uses four of the possibles, and was lucky that one of them was in there (the Green in row three - the yellow was Green in row one).
That was nasty - it probably depends on the first word selection, but be careful with this one!

I got the last four letters in three guesses, but there were too many possibilities for the first. That's my run broken.

Hint: CLEWS1 is a word ... it tried 4 possible words out of 9 for me - and gave me the solution, luckily. If it hadn't, then OGHAM2 would have reduced that by another three, leaving a solution or 2 possibles with two gaps.

2 - An ancient British / Irish alphabet

I didn't know there were any ... I work with the words I know!
I just googled and there are quite a few of 'em, aren't there?

When you mentioned OGHAM it made me think you maybe were

I'm finding some tricks. Considering that it's only my third one... and most of the english words that come to my mind are 4 letters long.
