Yes, but that was a German word (either an emigrant or a parallel development). And a very common one (in German), too. This is something I simply do not expect.

I "saw" what turned out to be the answer after my second word, but thought, "no that can't be right" so I entered another choice. D'oh.

They had solutions I didn't even consider a word. I am happy that they at least forego plural "s".

Oh, is that true? I wondered as I typed in my guess #2.

I think it's true. One can neve know, but I don't remember an example like "lives".

They use the adverb "or diminutive "y", however. An earl can become an early.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩EDIT:
I was trying out https://wordlegame.org/ where you can select how may letters should be in the word (up to 11). Suddenly this didn't look so hard. Not that I did much better though....

Also my current streak is down to 4 but I don't remember either forgetting one or failing one but I guess I must have....

A couple of (maybe related) observations:
1. In 3 days we will have puzzle number 666.
2. BEAST is a 5-letter word.

Man talk about under performing. Last time I do it in the evening. It wasn't even that hard. Or at least it shouldn't have been.

I have started using "random" starter guess words, just whatever strikes my fancy, instead of using something like AUDIO over and over again. This one, I used NASTY.

EDIT "random" isn't correct, I like words rich in the popular consonants.

I've been doing that the whole time. With a few favorites. like "AUDIO" and "QUART".

"NASTY" is a good one though :P

"QUERY", "WEARY", etc
