As the alternative badge, as supplied by Lissa seems to suggest growing things I'll prefer those as starter words, and if at all possible, I'll avoid words containing the same letter more than once.
I'll maybe add a few words about my chosen starter word if fancy takes me, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.
N is for Nymph & Nest. I did not imagine that I would have so much trouble finding five-letter, plant-related words with quite normal letters. Today I could not make up my mind. Nymph is such a wonderful word, I like the sound, and I like the entity it describes. But as far as I know, there's no nymphs in my garden. Nests on the other hand, I do have. Mostly nests I do not like, doves' nests. They wake me up with their coo-coo-CO! way too early in the morning.
I almost did not make it today, as I forgot that R was an accepted letter. CHEST was a stupid guess. I got Phew, and was tempted to re-do it in another browser, but that would be cheating.
I am really impressed with your diligence - and success.
SvarSletThank you. I often feel stupid not seeng the solution earlier.
SletI've done this before, "wasted" a guess. It always frustrates me.
SvarSletIt is frustrating, yes.
SletI get woken up by coo-coo-CO every morning too and I hate it. One or two coo-coos is fine, but a dozen or more birds for an hour is ridiculous.
SvarSletExactly. I feel like grabbing an old shotgun an firing at them - except that I do not own one, and shooting like that would be very illegal behaviour here ;) so I won't. Only making noises and shaking a black T-shirts to scare them off, and removing the nests before any eggs are laid.
