• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Maybe one for the cruciverbalists

Knew I was feeling below par this morning, but hadn't realised it included going temporarily colour-blind. As a result spent three guesses trying to place a letter that was already in the right place. :eusa-doh: Once that penny dropped (very slooooowly) it was straightforward. So yeah, safe to say my average is getting much, much worse.

Interesting to see that you are not using "hard mode."

I do think it helps, and would have saved you from that slip.

I got it in 4 again.
 
Dunno; I'm that befuddled today I could have had someone spelling it out to me and would probably still have needed three goes!

Took a little noodling but finally got it.

Considering the awful start and a wasteful second guess, luckier than I deserved.
 
It is all down to luck. I had 3 letters in the right place (1st , 2nd & 4th) but it still took me 3 guesses to get the word.

I disagree. It's about your knowledge of how words, especially five-letter words, are constructed.

3rd guess COLLY
4th guess COOLY
5th guess COBLE

I disagree.
All acceptable words, all showing a knowledge of how 5 letter words are constructed, all with correct 1st, 2nd and 4th letters, all wrong. Maybe I know too many less common words (colly was a guess but coble I knew was a boat). There is a element of luck and perhaps being in synch with Mr Wardle, I clearly am not.
