On a lighter note I seem to recall being told long ago that there are three words in common English usage that are masculine, but which become feminine if the letter "E" is added to the end.

Blond / Blonde is one

Fiance / Fiancee is another

For the life of me I cannot recall the third. If anyone can assist I would be obliged to them.

Confidant/confidante, as in the recipient of a confidential disclosure.

I didn't play yesterday, but I would doubtless have been irritated also - at myself, mostly. That said, it is a game to find words in American, not in English, and it's not as if we don't know that by now.

Today:

xxYGY at this point I realise I've used one opener from my "old" pair and one from my new.

Agree completely Rick and my dislike is completely irrational and yet there it sits, gnawing at my soul…

A fortunate two.

Standard opener and a speculative second, with more emphasis on sheer guesswork and only a relatively small tactical element.

A satisfying four

XYXXG
XXXXX
XYXXX

Took a little while to work out what the most likely last three letters would be, but after that it all fell into place rather quickly. Minimal scribbling

A very quick and easy four

XYXXG
XXXXY
XGXXY

And after all that it was blindingly obvious, possibly the easiest one ever in terms of the amount of thinking needed.

I could not think what your second guess was, so I used wordfinder, starts with 1 and ends with 3,4 and 5.

It supplied two answers only, one was the correct solution obviously and the other a word I had never head of.

The fact that you knew this word impresses me, the fact that you thought it a more likely answer than the actual one does not.

Consider me amazed

Happy
