Dang! My program was supposed to eliminate them!

The website it checks modified its HTML (an ID attribute), and manipulating the resulting text created a silent error that just returned an empty list of already-used words.

I felt more secure doing everything using VBA code within a single spreadsheet which keeps track of all word lists.

Lucky here. I forgot to use the "ignore past answers" option and ended up with 20 words left with my first guess and I used the suggested filter word which left only one possible answer.

If I had used the suggested filter word with 10 remaining words, I would have used the suggested filter word UNLAY which would have left two possibilities: BAWDY and CADDY. I would have chosen CADDY over BAWDY.

After my third word I was stumped, even though I had all six letters (C I T U N). So I went and fixed breakfast. Came back and saw the answer right off.

I think I found your problem …

After my problem seeing the word (given all 5 letters), I made an Excel sheet to do the permutations. I wish I could say I used a clever formula to develop the permutations, but instead I brute forced the four-letter permutations, then used some moderately clever cut&paste to come up with all 120. Good thing it's five not six letters, the 6 letter 720 perms would have been more than I would take on. So next time I know 5 letters I will be ready, lol.

How on Earth is EASEL more probable than FALSE? FALSE feels like a significantly more common word in my book.

It is not about how common it is but how more likely a human would choose it; especially one selecting a word for the common man doing a puzzle to relax.

Spoiler

FALSE has a negative connotation. EASEL is more neutral. It even makes you think about a relaxing hobby: painting.

Here are the type of images that pops up when searching for those words on DuckDuckGo:

Which one do you find more relaxing, inviting, and positive?

Which one do you find more relaxing, inviting, and positive?

That if anything is conjecture. I would select a more common word like FALSE as making a more relaxed game as casual users are more likely to find it. Additional connotations may come in relevant but only at a secondary level.

Yet, in this case ...

I'll keep selecting the right answer more often than not until proven otherwise.

That’s not how science works. You are the one making the hypothesis that you can select the correct answer more often than random selection would. You have yet to actually prove this.
