Hey there, I'm Turdy!

I decided to invent a little word game. It’s called Turdle!

If my name didn't already give it away, I’m a turtle with a serious, slow-motion bowel crisis. Life in the slow lane is supposed to be peaceful, but lately, my stomach’s been a mess, leaving me constantly praying that I don't soil my reputation—or my shell. Since I’m stuck taking frequent, very extended bathroom breaks, I decided to invent a little word game to pass the time on the porcelain. It’s called Turdle! Just like that famous five-letter word game everyone plays, but here, every path ultimately leads to one unavoidable four-letter truth: TURD. Go ahead and give today's puzzle a spin while I try to hold it in until Day Two!
