And no cheating! Just a very lucky first guess that resulted in only one possible solution.

I was under the mistaken impression that playing hardmode would prevent me from guessing at the same words twice, or putting a wrongly placed letter the same place several times. Not so apparently.
My only excuse is that's 23:39 and I've been looking at code most of the day.
EDIT: At least I can try again in 20 minutes if I can stay awake. :)
