STUDY → Slow start, but I get to try one of my favorite second guesses
TRAIN → Nine letters eliminated after two guesses. Really need a vowel, and there’s just two left…
HOTEL → Can’t think of anything ending in -TE or -TT with what letters are left, and -ET is similarly out. -RT, -LT, out also. INEPT doesn’t work. -ECT? Will need another E, so…
EJECT

I was sitting looking at HOTEL for a long long time.

I had to think about this one a bit. I avoided the “Elect” penultimate guess with my start word, but I would have done the same otherwise.

This one took way longer than it should have. It’s practically an anti-trap, forcing me to check good letters that immediately narrowed it down to the only possibility.

The problem was I kept thinking the word was chaff, not chafe. Finally after several minutes too many I googled chafe to verify it wasn’t a word. Felt pretty dopey.
