It is only a ”phew” if more than one possibility remained at guess #6. 😛

We await your orders Great Leader! :smile:It would certainly be nice if you could take this guy (Jeff Grant, Scrabble Champion) down a notch. He's starting to annoy me just a little. On general principles.

Especially this kinda made it clear the guy must be some kind of savant. I wonder if he can tie his own shoelaces.

Had someone else played my game, and I had analyzed the pattern thoroughly, I could have solved the puzzle in two guesses. There are only 17 words to choose from, and focusing on the troublesome 4th letter, I ended up with a choice of 2 seed words, both yielding only the solution. Of course, I would have to know whether or not that player kept track of words already played and legitimate solution words.
