grr, this would've been a 6 except I had no info to break the ambiguity between STATE/TERSE and STAVE/VERSE. these ambiguities in the puzzle are frustrating. I flipped a coin for whether to guess T or V, and wasn't lucky

boo! 3 down is a spanish word, not an english word.
but also if i'd re-checked my assumptions each guess i made at the end, i would've caught the mistake and gotten 7. too hasty

Most time-consuming part of this was, after solving the puzzle on paper, figuring out 4 valid words to enter that would cover the missing letters in all 5 words.

very disappointed in myself! had i been paying more attention while entering what i believed to be the solution, i would have noticed my one-letter mistake in time to fix.
can't feel too bad tho... just had a streak of 15 games <=7.

This was so hard. I was stuck, stuck, stuck. And then I literally flipped a coin to decide between two guesses for the top word, which I had no confidence in... and it was right, and then I got it! There's always one word you're not thinking of that's the key to the whole puzzle.
I've played 51 games now, and still no 6. It seems to me that you would have to either have a lot of luck with the first guess, or have a way to complete two words with one guess. That's why I thought for a while that not deploying the E right away might help (because it's so common and so often occurs in the same positions).
