What feedback, if any, did it give?

Testing in the other browser, solving the puzzle in 6 guesses returned “Phew.”

What the hell, I’m on line 4 and know that first two letters for certain and likely the third and can’t even come up with an actual word for my guess.   Might have to finish coffee and shower before I continue.

No feedback. Just the correct word in the banner where the feedback usually is. That’s all the feedback that a loser deserves, I guess.

Using a new starting word, and 2nd word, if I get nothing with the first. Nothing worse than 4 since.

The editor of the New York Times crossword puzzle said on CBS Sunday Morning that he starts with “arose.” I’m not giving away the word I started with today. I think the first word I started with was “train.” More often than not I’ve started with “stern” and then if no letters hit then I’ve tried “chalk.” Oh wait, I just lied. Okay, I didn’t lie but I horribly misremembered. Checking my previous puzzles, I never tried chalk at all. My mistake. (I’ll share some recent puzzles below.)

The point I was going to make was that on Friday, on a lark, I started with “quirk” instead of “stern.” Would I have performed better or worse if I’d started with “stern?” I can’t know for sure but I doubt it. When the solution was “could” I wasted a guess trying “coyly” thinking the puzzler might be getting cute, and if I’d been successful guessing “coyly” in 3 then that would’ve made me look like I was very clever. Instead it made me look foolish, relatively speaking. I think the key to making a successful fad out of the game is to not make it too hard. You’re probably not going to run into a word you don’t know nor one that is relatively hard to solve. Don’t overthink it.

What if the solution was “poppy?” How many guesses would it take you to get that? Three p’s, an o, and a y? One could easily go two guesses without hitting one correct letter. Would “stern” never be the solution because it’s more likely to be solved with one guess? Or would “poppy” never be the solution because no one would be likely to solve the puzzle in one guess? Is there any thought that goes into it at all? Some of the recent solutions suggested that there were. Right, like “perky” was a totally random choice after “prick,” “whack,” and “mount.” Sure, it could’ve conceivably have been just a coincidence. But it’s not unreasonable to suspect that there might have been some human intent involved  

Anyway, here are my last few puzzles before today (not spoilering them because I don’t think it’s giving anything away):

I have the middle 3 letters. Thought I had it on guess 3 and first and last letter aren't even in the puzzle. I can't even come up with an actual word with the letters I have left. Still have 3 guesses left but this is pissing me off.

That one made me angry because it didn’t justify my reason for trying 8-letter words instead of 11-letter words.(See spoiler below.) I thought maybe 8-letter words would be the sweet spot in terms of toughness between 5-letter words and 11-letter words.

I may try a 9-letter puzzle next just so I can start with an initial guess of “sphincter.” Not just to thumb my nose at the game but also because that would be a pretty good first guess.

Haha, I went to brunch, had a couple bloody Marias and pulled this back up (before seeing your spoiler) and it popped in my head in about 10 seconds.  Apparently tequila is better than coffee for my creativity.

One of wife's guesses was "crome' today.  I was giving her shit about it not being a word when she fires back in the family group text about it being a legal scrabble word, some sort of garden implement in Britain.  Yeah, you know you meant the shiny silver metal.

Booooo!!!!!
