Like both of you, I had one letter left with more legit words left than I had guesses. I sacrificed my fifth guess to eliminate multiple letters, and solved it on the sixth. This was a more-fun-than-usual puzzle.

I did the same, rather than taking the whack-a-mole approach. Much less nerve-wracking.

I used my 3rd guess to eliminate and still .. several moles to whack!

Just about the only puzzle game I play these days is nonograms on the Katana app. Most nonogram apps have a limited number of puzzles, but Katana allows users to upload content so it's pretty much limitless.

And just as I was hitting the limit of my interest, I noticed it has an Adventurers Guild, with drops of power ups, a map where you can build various structures, quests, expeditions, etc., etc.

But it's good for my brain, right?
