How? My fourth try is now

BGGGG

I sincerely believe that a word does not exist from the left over letters.

The strategy of a 'throw away' word using as many remaining letters as possible and utilizing the process of elimination often is key. However sometimes a letter is used twice and then that doesn't work so well.

It wasn't intended to be a clue,

but I realized it might be one once I re-read my post. I considered putting it in spoiler tags but then I left it because it is strategically sound advice for this game.

I used to rely on this a lot, and sometimes I still get annoyed at myself for giving up on being able to use that strategy once I started playing in hard mode. :P

I've never played in Hard mode. I am not the best strategist and I need to work on honing my strategic skills (overall). It's one of the reasons I play these games.
