9 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: SCRAY, SPRAY, STRAD, STRAE, STRAG, STRAK, STRAP, STRAW …. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.
This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.

These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.
Alphabetical distance counts words in a dictionary, rather than the number of letters between guesses. Your game's dictionary can differ from this helper's.
