In this case I would call it pure luck and quite easy.
The seed word was the one of twelve scheduled for today and yielded 26 possible solutions. The solution just happened to be the highest ranked out of the 26, using the Wordlebot method of ranking, which fortunately for me is also my method of ranking.
