Well done.

I sometimes wonder how many tries it would take if I randomly guessed 5-letter words.

Which makes me think of an article I read yesterday that NY students can “pass” the Regents exams by always selecting option C. Which isn’t a good thing to think about.

Thanks.

One source puts the number of five-letter words at 158,390. But goes on to list the number acceptable for Scrabble as well as lists in other dictionaries.

With that in mind, go for it!

And you’re right about option C.
