Thanks, Chuck!  I enjoy it.  I try to get it in 3, but it doesn't always work.

You met your goal! I solved it in 4 as usual, but I'm happy since my first guess was a goose egg.

revisiting the topic of mystery words.

lol

Look at the game in the bottom right.  The answer is BETEL.  Never heard of that word.    I had figured out  _ E T _ L.  No other vowels were in the word, they had all been guessed.  I assumed the 4th letter was "E", a then began entering various letters in the first space, and the game wouldn't allow words that don't exist, and I ended up with "BETEL".   

Google defines it as:  The leaf of an Asian evergreen climbing plant that is used in the East as a mild stimulant.

Betel nut chewing is very common in Asia.  From wiki:

"The areca nut is the fruit of the areca palm (Areca catechu), which grows in much of the tropical Pacific (Melanesia and Micronesia), South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of east Africa. It is commonly referred to as betel nut, not to be confused with betel (Piper betle) leaves that are often used to wrap it (a preparation known as betel nut chewing). Consumption has many harmful effects on health and is carcinogenic to humans. Various compounds present in the nut, including arecoline (the primary psychoactive ingredient which is similar to nicotine), contribute to histologic changes in the oral mucosa. It is known to be a major risk factor for cancers (squamous cell carcinoma) of the mouth and esophagus. As with chewing tobacco, its use is discouraged by preventive efforts. Consumption by hundreds of millions of people worldwide ? mainly of South Asian or Southeast Asian origins ? has been described as a "neglected global public health emergency".
