FWIW....the other day, my wife read about somebody's "method" that almost insures that you never lose a game, but you don't win until the 4th or 5th word. He enters the following 4 words, which eliminates / identifies all the vowels and all but a few of the consonants: TUBES, CHAMP, FLING, WORDY. I've tried it, and sometimes after the first 3 words, you've already ID'd all 5 letters. I've won nearly 50 games in a row this way, but I've never won on the 3rd word and seldom on the 4th. Pretty much a sure thing on # 5 or 6 though.......
