You do that by using Spoiler tags. see the snip below:

You don't have to enter Spoiler tags manually - you can do it from a drop down menu when posting. If you do that, when a window appears asking for a Spoiler title, just leave it blank.

I also got it in 3. Took Rick five. I have a certain word I start with each time, and then a second word I try to cover common letters, but only if that first would comes up with no letter matches. This time it worked okay for me. But sometimes, it takes 4-5 turns.

Fjord was a great shot! I would never have thought of it.

A 4 today, not bad with so many possibilities.

Not great, but I’ll take the 4

Two. I almost fell out of my chair.

Spoiler

I walked out on my patio this morning and the thermometer read 65. It’s cool, the lake is calm and the sky is blue. It’s fall-like in northeast Florida and it’s a real BEAUT! I wasn’t even sure if that was a real word but I had to try it and it worked. I then decided to see if the word ended with ATE. I almost changed my mind as I thought the G was a throwaway. But, I decided if the R hit and/or the ATE was correct, it was worth it. I tried GRATE and I couldn’t believe my eyes as the tiles all turned green.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Nothing like a fortuitous first guess. Two.

Spoiler

Possible answers that came to mind, without doing a lot of work, were GREAT, GRATE, PRATE, TREAT. Lots of remaining guesses, so I didn't bother with using an elimination word. Since half the options started with G, I decided I would use either GRATE or GREAT. I decided GRATE, because if GRATE was wrong, it would indicate which of the other three words would be the correct answer.

[added comment] I see that I overlooked CRATE as a possible answer. Which means that if GRATE showed the solution was xRATE, there still would have been two possible answers.
[more added comment] I also overlooked IRATE as a possible answer.

You lucky people! Four.

5 today and I took much more time than I usually do.

Sunday Funday. Four, and maybe I make these harder than I have to. Took a bit of time.
