The October 31st answer is BLEAK.

The perfect word for a spooky Halloween night! For our starting word we used SCARE which provided both vowels, just in the wrong spots. Moving things around a bit we tried FAMED as our second attempt. This only gave us two more wrong places for our vowels and a few more incorrect consonants.

Moving everything around again we tried PETAL for our third guess, this locked in the 'A' and also added a new misplaced letter with 'L'. Trying a few different positions for the 'E', we assumed it had to be right before the other vowel. Doing this helped us see the obvious 'LEA' in the center which quickly gave us the correct answer and our win-in-four with BLEAK.

Happy Halloween, boils and ghouls!
