    It seemed to be the only word-like thing that fitted around the letters I already had - but I still wasn't confident until I remembered it primarily uses American English.

    Lucky to get it in 5. I think of it as an American word, not English

    This was the closest I've come to losing my current streak for a while. I hate it when you get 2-3 letters and several possible combinations are left. I usually guess the wrong ones.

    Got it in 4 but it's one of those Americanisms that has cost me before

    Streak buster today. Got four letters on turn two, far too many options left - still had two options when I ran out of attempts

    Yup. Lost my 76 day streak today. I hate it when you are left guessing which of 10 first letters it could be. Although with hindsight, the answer should have been obvious.

    I had the same problem
    Had the last 4 letters with 3 guesses left but failed with guess 4 I could still think of 4 possible solutions so I threw a guess making a word with 3 of the 4 possible letters that gave me the missing letter so got there in 6

    Got it in 4. Nowt on first guess, 2 on 2nd, same 2 on 3rd, seemed obvious for 4th.

    Grr streak gone. Too many choices and didn’t guess well. Even throwing my 5th guess still gave me several options and guessed wrong

    Me too mate, first time I’ve failed in ages, I’d got 3 correct letters on my 2nd guess and still failed.
