Which Pittsburg is this? There are a few spelled like this but the better known one in Pennsylvania is spelled Pittsburgh.

This was a neologism.

Especially people who learned British English as a second language and don't think of six-lettered words like humour and colour as fair game for this puzzle.

Agreed. I have all spell checkers configured to English (GB). That's what we learned in school.

Yes. This isn't the first time that there has been a strong correlation between your game and mine.

And I had the same issue with the birthday problem. I was so focused on the wrong location of "t" that it took me definitely too long to recognize the "D".

That's the brain's pattern-matching algorithm performing an error correction without you noticing it.

My first fail after 90 successes. I would have succeeded with 8 guesses.

Mine is less Gaussian:

 

[kuruman]

Mine is incomprehensible. The area under the curve (games won) is W = 80, the total games played is N = 80, yet the current streak is 50. How can that be? If the streak is broken, I must have lost at least one game in which case one would expect W < N plus I don't remember losing any games. My stats don't look right, but clicking the link doesn't do much for me. Anyway, I'm not losing any sleep over this.

You don’t need to lose a game to break the streak. Missing a game also breaks it. For example, my current streak is 3 and based on my posts in this thread, I missed game 480 and solved 481, 482, 483.

In retrospect, I was lucky to get the first letter in the right place immediately.

Yup. It took me a bit of thought to come up with a 4th guess that would guarantee win on guess 5…
