Editor's note
A closer look at GAFFE
GAFFE is a noun for a faux pas, often something someone says publicly. It has a doubled F in the middle, so the single A and final E are not the whole vowel-and-repeat story.
What one guess would tell you
CRANE against GAFFE would produce the colors shown above. Green means the correct letter and spot; yellow means a letter elsewhere in the word; gray means no unused copy of that letter remains. This is a calculated example, not a recorded player's guess.
