But this is what makes it easier. Narrows my focus. Otherwise I tend to push it to the fifth or sixth guess.

Turns out "hard mode" is the way I've played all along. Using the letters you've already correctly guessed seems like common sense to me. It wasn't until a stupid NPR think piece I read this morning that it occured to me that some people might not do that.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

None of this makes sense to me. Do you have a link to that article?
