I spent most of my time on my third guess. I thought about trying MOMMA at that point but I was looking for something else that didn’t have the same letter repeated quite so many times.

I was pretty sure, after my first guess, that the second letter must be a vowel. I wasn’t so sure about my third guess because of the double P but it was the first word that occurred to me that fit.
