Answer List vs Archive Record
WOODY is an official Wordle answer word, so it belongs in answer-history checks even when a published date is not available in the archive window above.
That distinction matters because a word can be part of the answer list without having a clearly surfaced archive date. If the tracked archive does not show WOODY yet, the safe reading is "no published record in this archive window," not "WOODY can never be an answer."
How to Use This on a Live Board
If your clue pattern still leaves WOODY alive, archive history alone is not enough to throw it out. The stronger filter is still your actual clue pattern plus the broader tracked guess list.
