Google says it is. XD

Are you sure covin and Congo were both three? 'cause right now I can't find a word that would fit... "Annoy" eliminated "n" as the third letter while "whiff" likewise eliminated "I." I could be completely incorrect too. XD

I was doubtful about all three of the last three guesses, having never met "congo" as a non-proper noun nor "covin" nor "coign" at all, but now I've looked into it they're allowable guesses but arguably objectionable if chosen as the word we're asked to guess

Now that very first clue has been corrected:

conic

Yeah, I thought covin might have been a typo, but it's an archaic form. Figured that had to be allowable on a writing forum. :rofl:

Conic - Winner!

I'm really sorry that I keep messing this up, folks.

I was looking at things like "comio" and "copio". I thought of conic too, so this is a game of speed as well as figuring. :cool:

Oh... my. I was not at all expecting that (partially because Minstrelgirl's "races" only got a score of 1 instead of 2) I was thinking, "This word totally isn't it, but we might get close." Well. Okay then.

Here we go:

Caper - 0

I will admit that the thought of the possibility of giving "whisk" a non-zero score did factor into my choice

. But as I've said before, a non-zero score is generally a less useful clue than a zero score; you now know that two of the letters in "whisk" are correct, but not which letters, while if it had scored 0 you would know that none of the letters were correct.
