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