N, so, together, I had __InE. So I put the N first since it didn't go 4th, and the sound was N_I_E.

So, my next guess was a no-brainer and luckily turned out to be right.

Moishe had the same three letters as me but with the N and I in place and a yellow E. Still, the sound he had was the same as mine when looking at it. So, another obvious guess that was right.

You started with the I in place and a yellow E. But didn't pick up another letter until #3 when you got the yellow N.

I am not sure where BEIGE came from (with a known I,E,N) BUT it got you 2 green and with the forgotten N, you were then back on track.

You know that it is all just a matter of which words we each choose as we stumble along. Lots of luck as well as skill involved. Sometimes we are just off-kilter for a bit. But most of the time we all pull it together by line 6.

It is impossible to KNOW which guesses to make and when until AFTER you know the answer.

So don't be so hard on yourself. It happens to all of us!
