Maybe one for the cruciverbalists

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

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.

I'd rather say 'fluke'. It's got 5 letters.

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.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
