Honestly I was pretty sure the ASSET was going to be correct but I wanted to hedge and try to get another letter in just in case there was a word among my remaining letters that isn't in my vocabulary--a sacrifice of sorts, but still using known letters. The game will reject words that aren't on the list, of course, but even before trying TESLA, I considered there may be a measure usage apart from the proper noun, such as "watt" or "joule." TESLA was the only combination of letters that appeared to be a word and didn't place known letters in positions they couldn't occupy (my own constraint that even hard mode Wordle doesn't force).
I think it's a more convenient way of handling them than Wordle.
