    It only took me 140 guesses and a month and a half.

    But I must concede it was a very different kind of puzzle.
    Overall I'd give it +2 (both thumbs).

    I found #pedantle #80 in 140 guesses! 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥

    Today's - #109 - in just eight guesses. I suppose one improves
    with practice.

    Practice only helps so much - I had never heard of the previous

    But #110 - 5 guesses.

    Oh! No pressure, then.

    BRB... You might want to start a drumroll about... now.

    <...some time later...>

    Never mind; as you were. 37 guesses (sigh).
