Like both of you, I had one letter left with more legit words left than I had guesses. I sacrificed my fifth guess to eliminate multiple letters, and solved it on the sixth. This was a more-fun-than-usual puzzle.

I did the same, rather than taking the whack-a-mole approach. Much less nerve-wracking.

I used my 3rd guess to eliminate and still .. several moles to whack!

Just about the only puzzle game I play these days is nonograms on the Katana app. Most nonogram apps have a limited number of puzzles, but Katana allows users to upload content so it's pretty much limitless.

And just as I was hitting the limit of my interest, I noticed it has an Adventurers Guild, with drops of power ups, a map where you can build various structures, quests, expeditions, etc., etc.

But it's good for my brain, right?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
