This may be my record for the fewest letters identified after three words. One single yellow. Ouch. On the plus side, that left almost nothing to guess except the answer.

WACKY

Another of these ‘after you’ve eliminated the more frequently used half of the alphabet, it narrows down the possibilities’ rounds.

One of the advantages of my first three is that if they don’t turn up much, there are very few consonant combinations left. It was true the other day with WEDGE, and true again today with WACKY. K was the only remaining consonant I could see that would work with the C I had, and things fell into place from there.

Tried to play all unlikely words on hard mode. Last one was only slightly unlikely but was the answer. As an aside, I’ve noticed that they recently allowed me to use CHINK as a guess, although I suppose it is still unlikely to be the actual answer.

After MADLY, I kicked myself for not testing letters at three. But upon further consideration, I burned off three consonants and had the chance to try three more on the next guess, so staying in hard mode worked out ok.
Not my favorite answer ever, though.
