Maybe one for the cruciverbalists

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Only a choice of 2 words, picked the wrong one :(


{EDIT - Question}

How does this scoring work?

First guess 1 yellow 2 green
second guess 4 green
third guess 4 green
fourth guess 5 green

Scoring? Isn't it just the history of your correct guesses?

4 for me too.
Yes, the scoring just shows how many guesses you took to solve all your puzzles so far, with the latest entry in green.

Time to change your start word perhaps.

I think it needs a more fundamental change than that - a new start brain, possibly. :lol:

Got another 3 again today, which I was pleased with (sorry: too lazy to save a screenshot and upload it to the forum).

Ouch. After such a strong start I bet you were getting a bit testy by the fifth go.
