Alphaguess - another frustrating word game

[Stowickthevast]

Fans of Wordle, Connections etc. I've got a new one for you - Alphaguess. It can be any word at all, no limits on the number of letters, all you know is where it is alphabetically in relation to your guess - frustrating and compelling in equal measure.

I actually had my best result today by complete fluke - am often much higher numerically in guesses.

Thanks for the suggestion @Stowickthevast .
I popped over from the Wordle thread.
I have quite a bit of work to do on my strategy!

Can you believe it, DC and I used this very word this morning. Didn't help though😁

I wasted two guesses because I didn't see the bottom half of my screen where it says the word comes after... 🙈

Had a go, thanks for the suggestion

Love this, thank you@Stowickthevast . Looks like the timer doesn’t account for coming back to it later. Didn’t take me half an hour. Not sure why I need to tell you all that but as fellow puzzlers it seemed important

The reason why it took a while was trying to put a log on the fire, knocking a burning ember out and nearly setting the rug on fire! Dramatic excuse but true!
