Don't let my low score fool you.
According to my records, this is the 2nd worst game ever, where 26% of the people globally did not solve the puzzle.
27% of the people solved it in 6 guesses.
21% solved it in 5 guesses
15% solved it in 4
8% solved it in 3
2% solved it in 2

Thanks! Your spoiler pointed out a bug in my software, as BONGO was NOT the best filter when I replayed your game: ARISE, MOUTH(?), BONGO

If I PARSE your play correctly, it makes total sense that you got this in two, playing by the seat of your pants. Bravo! on being part of the 2%. πŸ‘

ps. Just checked and the global scores got worse.
More people failed to solve the puzzle than those getting it in 6. :frown:
7: 27%
6: 26%
the rest remained the same as mentioned above

Oh the humanity! :cry:

Probably because the list of remaining words keeps getting more obscure as worss are used up. While ”we” who use previous game information and information theory to solve it get it easier. Those who do not get it worse.

Another sheet slam dunk. Second guess was by far the best filter and only had a couple of degeneracies. The solution was not among the degeneracies.

Ahaaa, changing my initial guess payed off, even though it wasn't a groundbreaking change. But there you have it. I'm back in the game! Don't know how I "deduced" that there were 2 i's in there, but my "heuristic approach coupled to my superiour intuition won the day. *cough*.

Forgot AGAIN to flip the switch for past answers, but I got lucky.

With the switch flipped, the first guess would have left 54 possible answers, the second guess would have been LYTED, leaving only 2 possible answers: LIPID and LIVID.

That was lucky. I guess it is an advantage to use only your head, then you don't get many possible words. On the third try I could only think of one word, but I am sure there were many others that fit.

Thought erroneously (only looked up letter frequency after failing, so this time I didn't cheat :smile: ) that W was more common than P . Ah well.

I also jump right into it. But as I've shown in later posts I'm not above a little cheating. :cool:

EDIT: Oh, previous posts. Forgot where I was. Explains a lot doesn't it?

A few times I was down to one letter and couldn't think off any words that fit. So I just tried random letters for the missing one. If it makes no word it doesn't count it as a try. This way I've solved the puzzle in over ten tries, but it counts it as five or six.

Now you mention it. It's a funny dictionary, I think. I've met lot's of words I could've used in Scrabble (the official British one), and even words anyone would expect to be there, but nope.
