I don't think I had any other options by the fourth guess because I'd eliminated so many consonants.

I’ve noticed more consonants since the NYT bought it. More American English. There are theories out there but I’m sure it’s still the guys same random word generator. It’s still the sense I get.

…glad I got it in 5. There’s one letter I’m going to try to avoid at all costs. Seems to never show up.

Good job, solving it in 4.

I wasn't too confident of my attempt on try 3, but it turned out to be correct. Getting the second letter early definitely helped.
