Why KALE is worth comparing
Keep K anchored at the front and compare the remaining tiles, not the whole word. KALE checks 3 different follow-up letters—A, L, and E—so any gray among them removes that word immediately and may clear several neighbors from the list too.
KALE belongs here because it starts with K; that alone does not make it legal on your current board. Submit it only when A, L, and E also agree with the feedback you have already earned.
