Beautiful symmetry!
Yes, but once again your 3/6 score beats my 4/6 score. :woot:

Yes. I had to look up my second guess after I made it. I had no idea. :P

I guess that's what you call a very heuristic MO (and yes I know that's putting it in very flattering terms).

Wow. According to Wordlebot, ≈1 in 7 people failed to solve todays puzzle. This is the worst failure rate since I started keeping track of such things.

I can see why. At guess 2 I matched 3 out of 5 letters. Then at guess 3 I was fortunate to find a word that eliminated 4 out of the 5 remaining possibilities.

I strongly suspect many people playing do not have the idea of making a purely informational guess clear. It is in some ways counter intuitive and it may be very tempting to play self imposed hard mode even if that option is not selected.

Today’s word also being particularly vulnerable to hard mode …

A penny for your process (or how the saying goes...). Your third guess intrigues me.

EDIT: I'm being rhetorical.

Then it must be my labyrinthine "heuristic" MO which saves me. :)

EDIT: Oh, and by labyrinthine I mean "meanderingly chaotic".

I will reconstruct and post the process after 48 hrs to make sure that I don't spoil today's puzzle for anyone.

You may deposit your penny, in bitcoin of course, in my Nigerian prince account. I will send details by PM.

We can do better. You give me your account number and your bank's routing number and I will point out which numbers in yours match mine in the same place until you get them all. I will give you as many guesses as you need. :oldsmile:
