I guessed beast on row 3. Then took ages trying to work out the missing letter.

Time for another complaint about american spelling?

 

[Dogtrousers]

No complaints from me Being from the midlands, "mum" was pronounced "mom" there, so I coulda shoulda tried it but _O__Y has so many possibilities

In a game derived in America? Really?

Any word with 3 identicalletters is a total pain as it limits options to eliminate words.

By line 4 I had _O_ER

There were 4 common words I could find that would fit, but only 2 guesses left - CORER, POSER, POKER & ROGER. These 4 words had 5 new letters I hadn't used so far - C, P, S, G & K, so for the fifth line I tried PACKS, which gave me _ _ C _ _, so I knew it had to start with a C
