Since plural words are never the answer, switching to STEAM would use the same letters and give you a chance at an ace. Additionally, a chance for letter position 5 to be correct. If nothing hits you can still use your current fallback second guess.
I had not been aware of the no plurals thing. Will start using something else. Thanks!

I would like everyone, including myself, to feel a bit better about today's word. With the pattern (and unless you got lucky with an earlier guess), that first letter is basically coming down to luck. There were 4 words with that permutation and no words that contained 3 of those letters to get you down to one guess after using a burner word. So your options were:
  • Guess randomly at the first letter and have an equal change of getting it in 1, 2, 3, or 4 guesses
  • Use a burner word and guarantee you can get it with 3 guesses (including the burner)/hopefully get lucky and get it in 2

Tough pin placement on 18, that is for sure.

A rough 18th hole shakes up the top of the leaderboard.

With a par, @o_NoleinATL pulls even with @FLaw47 at 9-under, sending us to extra holes starting tomorrow.

Sudden death rules are now in effect. We’ll start with Hole 1903 and keep playing until one player stands alone and we crown a champion.
