Have you considered UNTIL for the second word? N and T occur with higher frequency than F and D in the remaining candidate words if AROSE draws 5 no hits.
UNTIL is better than FLUID. What about TULIP?

Good question. Below is a screenshot of my spreadsheet output. It shows the frequencies of letters appearing in the 183 candidates that remain after the letters in AROSE have been filtered out. For each letter, the number occurrences in each position 1-5 is also shown. You can see that P with a total of 46 occurrences is below N which has 64. So UNTIL increases your chances for hits over TULIP albeit not by much. Either choice has the top 3 letters IUL.

Bad luck today!

Hard mode strikes again!

Edit; That should be a @Mister T quote. Don’t know what happened

Meaning you were in hard mode by mistake?

Without hard mode I could have won with a 6/6 if I could've come with a word containing
P, B, and H
. Instead I lost.

If I admit to be a dilletante do you admit to be a little geeky? :P

I used to have a programming co-worker who had a Ph.D in statistics. That is the most extreme example of geekery I've ever encountered. Hs wife used to call me ( our desks was right next to each other) and ask me o remind him to pick up his children from kindergarden. He was that focused.

Sure. I revel in my geekiness.
As I revel in my dilletantism :P

Was your second word TEARS? I don't think I have seen a plural as the solution yet.

Yeah but the solution was TEARY

Although Im pretty sure Ive seen a plural solution but of course I cant prove it.

Yeah, you had TEARY as your third, I was wondering what was your second? Looks like it was TEAR*, what else but TEARS?
