Very good, took me 4. Stupidly I repeated a letter on the 2nd go but I don't think I'd have got it any sooner.
My daughter did it on her mobile and got a different word?

A quick bit of advice in terms of the rules. I’ll hide it in spoilers even though it’s not even really a clue. I had trouble with today’s though because I didn’t know that…

Yep, and annoyingly when I googled whether that was the case the first result literally contained the answer.

Last guess again today.

Took me until my 4th guess to get any letters in the correct place. From there I got the first and last two letters quite quickly but cut it fine to get the last two.

Random word each time.  Wonder what the odds are of getting it right first time.

My brain goes dead trying to think of 5 letter words so I start with the same one each time.

It has the two most common vowels (I think), so normally gets me off to some kind of start.

Had to do this today. Third guess I was struggling to think of words, so dropped a letter that was in the wrong place, and used a letter i already knew was wrong.
That gave me 3rd and 4th letters but I couldnt think of anything that fit, so guessed a word that didnt use any of the correct letters just to narrow down some options.
That gave me the 5th letter as well, but I was still drawing a blank
