Just barely squeaked by! My wife suggested the last word, good for her!
Yesterday's was horrid. - I'd used up almost every letter with just one correct or so by the final guess, and couldn't think of any words for a very, very long time with the tiny pot of remaining letters.

And today's was frustrating for entirely the opposite reason. - An early success leaves nothing but guessing and crossed fingers...

I think this was my best attempt so far, purely through luck, though:

Is is cheating if I manually peruse a list of 5 letter words like this?

On the 4th try I unintentionally forgot to use a word that used the 3rd known letter, but it helped me figure out the first letter

That was difficult. Didn't help that on the 2nd guess I didn't use a letter I identified on the first, while using one letter on the 3rd guess I eliminated on the 2nd guess already. :doh:

That frustration of getting too close too soon with so many word options left, and so few letters eliminated... :|

That was, well... I made a mistake (attempt 4) which inadvertently shone a light on the answer!

I'd say this could be a tough one.

Darn ended on an anagram. And here I was thinking the system was weighted to practically come out. :cry: (86%)

Having got the answer (in 4), I can actually work backwards to work out what your second guess was. :)

I did it in 5, however, lots of people moaning about today's word.

I don't know why, it's a perfectly good word. Some Twitter users complaining that the word isn't English (it isn't of course but is in the dictionary!)

I think using Twitter does something to your brain and not in a good way.

Had to smile, because a lot of non-UK English speaking countries were complaining about 'bloke' a week back, the most vocal were a couple of friends in Delphi.
