1 day ago This is confusing but correct.
If the word was PURER then of course the green I is a lie, and the grey P is also a lie. But then the yellow P would also have to be a lie; the correct clue would have a grey P there because the first P would be green.
I see the argument - it lied about the green P and this makes the yellow P not a lie. But this is not how Fibble works. Fibble works by switching the colors of one of the letters in the truthful clue.
Note that it is not even possible for a wordle clue to feature a yellow letter that comes after a grey of that same letter.
This also means that if the yellow P were true in PIPER (for whatever the answer is) then the grey P must be a lie, which is to say the only way for the yellow P to be true is for there to be two P's. But PURER has only one P.

A previous guess of mine was PIPER (_🟩🟨🟩🟩). I then tried PURER, which assumes lies in the first and second letters of PIPER, but this word was rejected for assuming that 3 lies were present in PIPER.
