Looks like lots had trouble with this one. I got lucky with what turned out to be two elimination words, then a good third guess that narrowed it down to two choices, one of which would have had two double letters, which seemed unlikely.. Wordlebot said it would have picked the other one.

After guess 3 there were only 15 alphabet letters left and most of them were ‘bottom end of usage’ like Q, X, and Z. I did try QU-start words but QUERY wouldn’t have worked due to the R.

So it was a hard slog through those remaining 15 letters (BIE_Y? FLE_Y? VIE_Y? etc.) until the annoying answer.

Getting this in 3 slipped past me due to being stupid and playing the P again when it wasn’t valid. :roll_eyes: The answer word was next on my list and I would have played it if I had noticed my mistake. So an average 4 it is.
