Alphaguess - another frustrating word game

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.

Is today's a commonly used word? I've got the first four letters and a window for the fifth, but I'm scratching my head...

I would say that the are very few options with those first four letters. Just work through your possible next letters, and you will get there.

Oh for goodness' sake! I was trying all the permutations except the most obvious one 🤦‍♀️

@comeondover it's frustrating, isn't it? I did the very same a week or so ago. Someone PM'd the answer, and I was absolutely kicking myself!

Oh I dunno about that... I guessed so many times with the first 4 letters! 😆

I guessed a very random word that started with the first three letters at about guess 8 so took quite a while to get back to the actual word 😣

I've redeemed myself somewhat today 🙂
