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.

I've been using a starting word of Rag, as I always feel like most words start with R, S, T etc. Just checked and I'm wrong, it seems more words with start with A-M, then N-Z.

I do Rag, and if it's before that, jump up to Egg, then start with the method you say.

I always start with an M word @sashh, but it was 2nd letter which took me so long today.

I start with an M word too. But it's never a problem getting it down to the first letter. It's normally narrowing it down when I know the first two or three letters that takes the time.

Also guessed a word which was after a word which was already after today's word.

I'm quite happy with 10. It was very near one of my standard guess words with that letter though which held me back a bit.
