I wondered if a 1/6 would ever happen on this thread, but I certainly didn't expect it from this word today. Congratulations. Post the screenshot if possible (cropping out any personal details on your computer/phone screen, of course).

Here you go:

Meanwhile, I'm back to par. The route to this one looked like a train wreck waiting to happen, but fortunately I managed to narrow it down just enough.

Happy with the birdie but should have given my 2nd guess more thought and gotten the eagle.

Never satisfied.

Starting oh-fer yields info but not usually good scores.

Wow, did I struggle with this one And the solution is completely unsatisfying.

[YmoBeThere]

Bogey, and painfully slow.

Arrgh. I came up with 3 possible choices for my last guess. I chose poorly.

[Ggallagher]

I did not like this one either.

Lousy word.

Yep, pretty much in the tea leaves after my eagle yesterday. I do crosswords, so I should have gotten this one.

3rd guess I spelled the word wrong but it was still a word. 3rd, 4th, 5th guesses were just plugging in a different first letter. None were words I've used.

"Unsatisfying" pretty much covers it.

Starting on guess two, I knew that Aimo's Law would be heavily in play. I was happy to escape with a five.

After a streak of success that lasted nearly three months, this is my second crap-out in a week. Discouraging to say the least.

I did what I had to do to keep my all-time percentage on the level of Marshall Plumlee's 3-point shooting.

The 3rd and 4th guesses seemed the most likely, and when they failed, I still had three possibilities and two guesses left. So the 5th guess was designed to eliminate two of those options. I did something similar to get TAUNT earlier this month.

And yes, not a fan of this chosen solution. Based on words with the same 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th letter, onelook.com ranks this word as the sixth most common. I would have guessed eighth.
