Those words always throw me off. I’m pretty sure the only reason I got it on line 4 is because I must have eliminated every other possible word option that I spent a good half an hour just trying to find a word that fit and started typing various assortments in to see if it would accept it as a word. And then the OH DUH lightbulb moment happened.
The only thing worse than a double vowel is a triple consonant!
I played my big elimination move on line 3. Got the job done but it took me to my very last guess. I don’t think there was any other word it could have been by that point.
