Although Im pretty sure Ive seen a plural solution but of course I cant prove it.
My understanding is that plurals are not in the solution database.

EDIT
Is this a repeat? I thought we saw this word already.

Oh. OH! Well, I've been wasting a lot of guesses then. Perhaps I should update my geekery. :)

You would have seen me screaming....
Only three words have been off by one letter as solutions: games 112 & 756 & 822
Interestingly, the word seems to be the love child of games 756 & 822, with identical position letters remaining the same and the others swapping.

First try:
SCOPE
so it doesn't end in "E." I thought if it doesn't end in "E" maybe it ends in "ER." So I pencil out "C**ER"

I like to use "H" in my second guess, and if possible, double up a known correct letter (to help figuring out where it does go).

So, I tried "CHEER" and what do you know, got it in two!

I have no idea why I had to go over an obscure word like CHARE.

Doubly stupid as I already used the A once. Hah, no twice! And in the same position no less. You'd think hard-mode would prevent that, but no.

I think the point is don't try to solve these just before bedtime... :P

I usually do the puzzle in the morning.

Yeah. Good thinking. I have a bad habit of keeping awake till after midnight waiting for the new one. The results generally (as in the last one) speak for themselves. When I do good I'm also rested and fully awake.

What a profound truth I uncovered there. huh? :P

Those of you who teach must really be rolling your eyes. :)

I usually do it right when the new one is available. Means doing it right after midnight.

I'm not really sure when the new one becomes available.
It's been my experience that it is based on the time/date stamp of the device you are using, changing to a new game at midnight. I used to play with that quite a bit a few hundred games back. I don't do it anymore as the last time I tried, it crashed the system, and my 500+ game winning streak was reset to one!
