@JenniferS, I noticed your "Wow" reaction. But this one was easy using a common solving technique. If you want to know...

Spoiler

I use a letter distribution chart (most used letters to the least). I start with the guess "least" to get the two most used vowels and three of the top five consonants. That gave me "A." Playing on hard, I have to use "A" in my next guess, but want to see if there are other vowels. So, "radio" uses the next two most used vowels, the next most used consonant, and another common consonant.

That gave me "A" and "I" and their positions. A lot of words fit that, but, I've already eliminated RTSLD. The next most common consonants were NPC. Which naturally let to "panic."



If one like to nail down their vowels first, "ouija" is a good starting word.

Of course, when there are words like "abbey"... it takes longer.

I took four tries because I went with manic before panic.

I just play by my old hangman rules … in reverse.

Best word for hangman (assuming you’re not playing against a MAGIC member, is QUEUE. (They get the e’s and nothing else!)

For hangman, I like "mew." Once they get the 'E', there are just way too many combinations to try before they're hung, and it's also not that common a word meowadays.

You can cheat (if you’re inclined to cheat, or something important like “adult time” is on the line) and go with bat or ban. The opportunity to change the first letter (and still have a real word) is almost limitless.

No telling my Hubby please.

Thank, but, not a great feat on my part. If you read my previous spoiler, it was all but likely to be solved quickly since...
