You mean to say you haven't failed a single one? In my opinion then, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

As far as I remember I haven't gone beyond 4 tries. Wish I had played the games after signing up so I could have saved my stats

Well, my excuse is that I'm not a native speaker which is probably obvious from my Danglish. I have a giant vocabulary in writing, but if you talked to me you'd probably laugh from all the words I've never heard said out loud and thus pronounce with strange accentuation (is that the right word or is it just pressure? Inflection?). Well, you see my problems. :woot:

I could almost say my most-probable method failed here. I would never have guessed this answer. My preferred word was ATTIC, but it wasn't a good filter, so I played it safe with AVOID, ready to put ATTIC as my next guess if it did not work.
