So many options. Line 4 was a word trying to use up as a many options as possible, whic narrowed it down to 2.

Not too shabby considering what some of you went through. @BookShark - I can feel your pain just by looking at yours!

Too many possible words and too few lives, tactical elimination on 4th guess worked out!

Similar here. Got the shape of the word by Guess 4; four letters correct, just needed the starting letter. Had four more possible answers but only two lines left. Used Guess 5 to use up three of the possibles in a totally different word (all failures) which then left Guess 6 as the correct answer.

Phew, indeed.

Smart move! I should have done that to eliminate the possible starting letters.

A tip from earlier....

If a word has multiple options for your final letter, try a word that contains as many of them as possible.

For example if I had -OOKS, It could be books, looks, cooks, nooks hooks etc.....so try the word BUNCH and check 4 of the letters in one go!

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 28/03/2022 17:37

Yes, that's a good tip, and what I did.

I got there by eliminating a lot of letters in my early guesses.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 28/03/2022 21:18

That's a very good tip, thank you RachelAshleyWasGuilty.

Today was the first day your method occurred to me! There was a word a couple of weeks ago where I had most letters but kept missing the answer SHAKE /SHARE/SHAME etc. But today I used a totally wrong word like you suggested and bingo. Please note. The answer wasn't BINGO.
