Wordle Solution 236

Took screenshots of my game and thought strategy for today's puzzle.  Wordle 236 was done in hard mode.  The key was a good 3rd choice for me.

Wordle 236 5/6*

My starting word today was STORY.  Giving me the S 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛

Went with LEADS to get a couple more yellow letters ⬛🟨🟨⬛🟨

3rd word was GAMES which found the correct placement of the A ⬛🟩⬛🟨🟨

For my 4th word I initially thought LASER, hard mode made it tough here, but luckily went for CAUSE to narrow me down to 1 option. ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩

I could see some difficulty in todays puzzle if you got stuck with ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩.

• HOUSE
• REUSE
• ABUSE
• CAUSE
• PAUSE
