I made a right Billy-bollox, round the houses, mind-gone-blank-on-the-third-line, hash of today’s, but got it in 5 when I pulled myself together.
Another three Woo ! Got Nada first line .... ! Got one vowel , correct in last position , next guess took it by the throat , chose from early in the alphabet. Got it on this three ... !
Four today, three total horrors yielding just two letters in the wrong place followed by a lucky guess.
5 Choice of 3 words on line 3, chose the wrong ones until I got to line 5….I may be catching Mrs O’s Tourette’s.. Coffee not even sipped…
On the money today , another three , nothing first line .. Three on second , all vowels , two in correct places.
I got it in 3, but I was stuck for ages... I agree it’s a cheeky one today, but it was the only word I could get to fit with the letters I had.
