I made a mistake in line 4 but at least it steered me to the right answer.

Uncommon words are best rejected as the possible choices do not come from the full dictionary.

Quote:
To make it easier on players, Wardle limited his universe of answers to a set of 2,315 words, leaving out ones that he judged too unusual. Plurals ending in -S also are excluded.

I'd kind of come to that conclusion from observation but I wasn't sure. Same with 3rd person verbs like (pauses to avoid spoilers) "Sings"

But even though it may not be the puzzle's ultimate answer you can still use them as intermediary words if you want.

I think I had my logical head on today instead of yesterday's sleepy fuzz-brain.

Either that or I was just plain lucky.

Definitely easier when there’s a bunch of others’ grids to look at, without even knowing what the starter words are 😀

I'm still resentful that it wouldn't allow "Maori"

 

[glasgowcyclist]

My preferred, and usually productive, first word failed me completely.
Second word didn’t help much so I elected to sacrifice line 3 to enter five new letters to improve my chances. That gave me all five.

Does it disallow proper nouns?

If you’re trying to identify the most vowels first, I have a better word with four of them.

I'll have to have a go with Welsh, Irish and Scots sometime. To see if it's discriminating against Maori people.

Woooo?

I can confidently state I think it's highly unlikely I will ever get a hole in one, as I've started using the word from the previous day as my starting guess.

I like that approach. But the chances of me remembering yesterday's word are pretty slim!

I someimes use adieu and there's also audio and ouija but I don't like using what I consider "silly" words.

A while ago I was doing it and I became convinced that the answer should be acorn. Acorn is such a good word. I was unaccountably angry when it told me that it wasn't. I was sure it was lying.
