Nice recovery from a skunked start to catch up with me in 2/6.
Spoiler:
I almost dawdled thinking that a 2 'C' guess in 3/6 was wasting a chance to eliminate another letter, but the word had come to mind when nothing else readily did. Whew.

Spoiler:
My 2/6 was CHIRP. Since I had the H and I in the wrong places and most C words start with CH I couldn't figure where else to go and took a flyer.

I should have used a spoiler box, fixed now. I doubt anyone else here is playing, but there's a slight chance that a lurking O Really is.

O Really is lurking only because he can't turn off just one thread/topic and there's always a red unread marker.
I played for a while, but lost interest fairly quickly.

Huh, I never noticed the red "Unread posts" flag.
I've got dozens in Useless' "Investing" thread.
There are other Useless threads that I never bothered opening when no one else posted to them.
There are a handful of other posters that I ignored further back like Mr.B's sock puppets Jerri and Oliver!.
I might not be able to unsee the red flag now, but I don't think that I'll do anything about it. There would be too much cleaning up for me to do.

You can use the "Mark topics read" in the upper right corner. Good for forums or subs.

Thanks, but since the red flags don't bother me I think I'll keep them as a pleasant reminder of what I chose not to read :twisted: . Useless is a given, but it was fun to so rapidly stumble on times I ignored Jerri and Oliver!.

The M woulda been a big help. Only one place for it to go and all I can think of are STOMP, STAMP, STUMP and, STOMA. Even I would have thought of neoplacebo with those choices.
I feel better, best I could have managed is 2/6 in 11 seconds. ;)
