  • LOOSE wasn't a filter and is a very bland word;
  • WHOSE is a pronoun/determiner making the word bland as well;
  • CHOSE is a noun with French origins (I don't think they use simple past verbs as solutions), making it more exotic and challenging to find.

I thought we'd had CHOSE before so unfortunately I initially went with WHOSE. :(

I don't look at the list of used words until I'm finished with the puzzle. I see my second, third, and fourth words were already used. As the game wears on, 'counting cards' becomes a bigger and bigger advantage (no sh*t, Sherlock!)

Many times you can cut down a list of remaining words from like 10 to 2 to 4 when applying the list of used words.the effect is significant

They did, the ispoiler tags just don’t work when surrounding a list it seems. See #6105

As a result, this was spoiled for anyone opening the thread before playing.

For this reason, I try to remember to always preview when using spoilers tags.

The problem was corrected (I think) for those who cannot access quality software and even less desirable software. 😜

Is your seed word ALERT? If so, I get the five remaining words: BALER PALER RELAX RELAY RENAL. How did you select the correct answer? Any of the first four words would have given the same odds.

Luck … and being correctly incorrect (it was late and I failed to recognize that BALER and PALER would also differentiate RENAL, which left RELAX and RELAY as equivalent best options).

In the end a 1 in 5 is not that improbable.

This word was not in the list I have been using historically for the first time. I got it in 2 as the only matching word from the full list of 14855 words by virtue of all the ones from my historical list being either excluded or already used (APTLY and ATOLL) …

Kaching! Second two-twos-in-a-row in less than a week. (1294-1295, 1298-1299)

This one was definitely luck. I picked one of two guaranteed filters among four remaining possibilities.
