Glad I'm not the only one. Got down to 20 possible words, but could not think of any that were valid choices given the letter/position constraints I had gotten to.
I was down to two words for my last try. I already had a strong suspicion what the word was; undos had gotten me back from a situation where I had 4 of the 5 letters. I just had no idea what the other word could possibly be. If I knew that other word, I'd win. Took me an hour to figure it out.
