Good grief I picked the word I thought was least likely to be the answer just because that seems to be the trend lately.

See this is what I don't understand about non-hard mode. What did you accomplish with guess #3? Oh, as I write this I realize it probably made guess #4 a certainty.... nvm.

I used the word crwth to eliminate letters and it gave me the answer.

OK. I understand that some might view hard mode as shooting yourself in the foot. Being a non native speaker I still think it helps me though. Although, I'm wavering on this...

If I were younger that would be a good excuse to play in hard mode. But I'm forgetting words every day. Yesterday I couldn't remember the name of the Orion constellation, while watching a video about what Betelgeuse will do the day it blows up. It was quite frustrating.

I got it in 5, mock playing in hard mode. This may take a lot of research.

I'm guessing he's kicking himself for using my seed word rather than his usual seed word which would have left him only the solution word.
