I see it's in the dictionary, but one of those words was a bit unfair.
Agree. It's all the more impressive that you solved in 11!
Look at the relevant board - I wasn't left with much choice!
I'll admit that I looked it up first to make sure it was in the dictionary (relevant interjection here).
I didn't check the word since the pattern offered no other option.
I've five words that use all letters but four which are seldom used. Immediately entering all five of these words leaves few opportunities for error, but the remaining eight entries must be perfect.
This strategy rarely creates a coin-flip between the choice of two of the remaining four letters. Only two of the four are likely to be in these either/or choices. This situation is made rarer by the likelihood of those "extra" letters being used in other solutions.
This strategy will preserve streaks, but not allow achieving the goal of solving in ten.

I considered a similar strategy, but I play it by ear. In wordle too, a different starting word every day.
Though I don't think I'd start with 'fuzzy' or the like.
