I just want to confess that I tried two spellings of "mithril" before I got Joon's word. Who knows how many guesses it would have taken me if either had been in the dictionary.
seems like any time i use a word with some early z's, a handful of people get it in very few guesses, perhaps because they are using those z-words for convenient indexing. e.g. if you guess "fuzzy" and it's after, then you know it probably doesn't start with f at all.
Yes, I used a lot of "z" words to narrow this one down: nuzzle, muzzle, mizzenmast. I jumped to the middle of the "me"'s then, but then went right to the answer word to bracket me's vs. mi's. Worked out well today. My second 8-guess day in a row for joon's word.
