Why FAKER Shows Up in Searches
FAKER looks plausible because it behaves like a normal five-letter English form, and it still appears in the broader tracked guess pool. That makes it different from a word that misses both the answer list and the guess list.
The key distinction is list role. FAKER can be playable as a guess without ever becoming a published NYT answer in the tracked archive window above.
What This Means on a Live Board
If your board still allows FAKER, archive history alone is not enough to eliminate it. The stronger filter is your actual clue pattern plus the broader tracked guess list.
