First time playing and I completely misunderstood the instructions but I still got it in three tries so I felt excited, very dumb, and then very smart. Good game.

I thought the “how to play” instructions were the hint for the specific puzzle, so my first guess was “whiny” - I’m real dumb.

Guess #2 was really out there hoping for a hit, ah well. I did try to be more careful this time when I was down to one letter missing, really checking to make there weren’t a tonne of options still available… I’m terrible for punching in the first word I think of in this scenario. Might not actually be a spoiler because I’m bad at this, but just in case.
