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 suffered similar. Think they could at last look to avoid setting words which have a large number of single-letter variants. It shouldn't really be a guessing game, most of the appeal is in thinking it through.

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.

I play using the hard mode rules. Anyway, it wouldn’t accept “rshbmw”!!!

You could have tried shwarm if you're Irish
