Alphaguess - another frustrating word game

1000 replies

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.

I tried this yesterday and couldn't get the word beginning with z..... can anyone tell me what it was? it insisted that zen was not a valid word which was strange.

@Runnersandtoms yesterday was zero. I'm guessing "Zen" was rejected as it's a proper noun that should start with a capital Z.

8 of my 10 guesses all had the same first two letters, I thought I was going mad! Finally got it, tough though - too many options. (In fact 5 guesses had the same first 3 letters).

So many words trying to narrow it down!

@TaraMock 8 of my guesses had the same first 3 letters! Took me longer than you though.
