My first ever fail, and it just doesn’t seem fair. As you can see, I had 4 letters correct in the very first line. Aside from the actual answer there is at least one other possibility, so at least 8 possible first letters. Seriously p’d off to fail like this after several months…

I counted 8 possible answers if you have the last four letters. Since Woddy isn't using hard mode, he could have eliminated 4 of them on the second guess, once he realised there were too many options.inactionman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 9:03 amI suffered similar.
