    - Initial guess for line 4 of puzzle 1 is WISPY (haven't seen the answer yet)
    Didn't work :( the word was FISHY
    - Placing guess for puzzle 2, line 4 - DELVE
    Guess #2 for question 2 (it wasn't DELVE): PRIDE (PRICE works equally as well, but it's not my guess)
    After him guessing CLICK, PRICE is no longer possible, but PRIDE still stands!
    He guessed PRIDE, now the only other possible word I see is PRIZE, which is my guess. I missed it earlier
    GG! Got it right!

    Tip!
    When you did CLICK you Said something smart about not to use extra letters so it would have been smart if you wouldve use L or I in a different position instead of the ”right” one bc if so you could se witch one was right or not, i know it also could have been C that was yellow or smt like that i just think that wouldve made it easier

    Hey Scott! I know that nasty liver gumbo has become sort of a tradition. Also it sounds pretty good. But playing today i noticed that gumbo uses some rather rare letters like g,m,b. What I first thought of was cough as a replacement, but maybe dough is worth consideration. They still use g, but including h and d or c seems profitable. What do you think?

  • @MrEdwardCollins
    @MrEdwardCollins 2 роки тому

    Ouch! CLICK was a terrible guess. It couldn't have been the solution, since we knew the solution will contain three of the letters from LIVER, and CLICK only contains two of those letters. Thus, CLICK was nothing more than a probing word, and with two Cs and a K, it was a very poor probing word.
    I also didn't like SLIME as a guess. That also couldn't be the solution (we know there is no S in the answer), so it also was a probing word, but at this stage there are better probing words than SLIME.
    After that, you were on track with your guesses of PRIDE and PRIZE.
