For common words ending in "IGHT", I get 8, which is kinda funny, as I almost missed "EIGHT"!

Tomorrow I'm turning it on hard mode. Been playing that way anyway. One of the subtle pysch reinforcements of this game is how your tiles turn green in succession rather than simultaneously. You're like, "could it be ... 1-2-3 YES!"

It would have gone faster if I didn't have a certain technical term on my mind due to my recent activities.

I've been playing for about 2 weeks and I think I'm getting bored with it. It does take some logic, and some luck, but It's really not that challenging. Still, I guess it's a good diversion for a few minutes in the morning.

DD, if you're retired, it fills up a small amount of your "free" time.

Got it in 3, but, honestly, I could think of another 3 or 4 words that would have fit on my 3rd guess. Better lucky than good, I suppose.

Also my first in 2. Got two greens on my first (standard) guess, and it really struck me that there would be many. many possibilities, it just looked like a common pattern. But I just couldn't find even one for a while. Then it struck me, and all green!

Well this is not my best.
Let's see what I can find as excuses:

I only had 1 cup of coffee this morning and it was a half caf.
My Achilles is slightly sore on right leg
I felt stupid this AM.
I was distracted by bird songs.
One of my tries was an uncommon word because my vocabulary is so large
This game is evil
