Today's Monday takes it a little easy on fans of the word-guessing game with an answer that uses a lot of common letters. When the game's answer uses more common letters it's easier to figure out the next word to guess, which can be a double-edged sword if you find yourself with only a few guesses left available.
For those that do enjoy more of a challenge, the gamedoes have a Hard Mode which can be turned on before any game. This will lock in correct letters and clues by forcing you to use them in future guesses. Doing this removes the ability to do starting combos that may provide a lot of letters in only two guesses.

With so many common letters today's attempt took a little longer than usual. For our starting word we used IRATE which provided three letters in incorrect positions and a great base to start the game. Our second guess was TAPED, which shuffled the letters a bit but didn't actually solidify any particular spots. Moving forward we tried METAL, this locked in the 'A' and left very few options for the other letters.
Our fourth attempt was STEAK which added the 'S' and locked in the 'E'. With only one possible location left for 'T,' it was easy to find the correct answer and get our win-in-five with SWEAT.
