That was a nice surprise. Repel was one of two words that would tell me the most out of the 5 words I was seeing, and it told me more than I thought it was going to - lol.

HOUSE
CHINA
WHICH
HOUSE is the only starter on my list that contains an H, so I caught a little bit of luck there. Didnβt think CHINA would be the answer, but I thought it would be a good letter-finder, and I was right.
Then I was fortunate enough to see WHICH before THICK, which was the only other possible solution. Happy with my play today!
