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