There is a German poem called "Ottos Mops" by the Austrian lyric Ernst Jandl. It contains only "o" as vowel.

I wonder if there is an analogon in English containing only five letter words ...

Very lucky guess! And only the third time in 68 games that I've done it in two.

Thanks!
I'm 99.9% certain I'd not have gotten it in two also if you hadn't done it yourself.

I skipped my normal 2nd seed word for one that matched the 3rd letter and bazinga!

I am 100% sure I would not have gotten it in one had I not profited from the previous posted attempts. Solving these while standing on the shoulders of giants is enticing, and I wanted to see if it can be done. It can, but I consider it educated cheating so I will stop here and go back to using standalone methods.

While I can understand how you got this one in one guess, I'm still scratching my head over your reduction in game 458 to 2 possible answers. That was some 12th level algorithming IMHO. Unless of course you know one or two people's first seed words, as that would make things quite a bit easier, but not nearly as fun.

That's what I meant by "standing on the shoulders of giants." I deduced pieces of first words by comparing the solution to the first guess. Of course one has to assume that the person will use the same first word consistently which is not always the case. I agree it's not nearly as fun because it crosses the line into cheating.

Utilized spreadsheet after 2nd guess as I could not make a single word out of what was left.

I believe the expression is close but no cigar which, at some point, might be particularly apt because "cigar" has five letters.

That'll teach me to be a smarty pants and try and cheat using other people's patterns. Had I stuck to my new standard seeds, I'd have had it in 3. Grrrrrrr...
