Seriously, this one was awful. The only reason I got it in 4 was by plugging in letters until something appeared in English.

I got lucky w/ guess #2. Obviously I needed to use "e"'s. but getting the "s" and the "l" helped me to get it on the next guess.

I feel a combination of satisfaction and disappointment when it goes so quickly. I really thought “smelt” would just help me place the letters I had - not that it would be the correct answer!
