Y is the 2nd letter from HYDRA - 2
H is eliminated because M is the first letter.
D is eliminated because R is the 3rd letter
R is already proven.
A is eliminated from ZEBRA - 1 (only correct letter is the already known R).
only remaining letter to satisfy the 2nd correct letter is the Y.
M is the first letter:
MERRY - 3
ZEBRA (1) eliminates the E because the only correct letter is the already known R.
EVERY (1) eliminates the Y because the only correct letter is the alreayd known R.
M_RR_ are left and 3 must be right, so all 3 are right.
The third letter is R
CURRY and HURRY are both 2.
C and H are eliminated by the two words scoring the same. Both C and H cannot be correct.
U is eliminated by CUFFS - 0
Y is eliminated by EVERY - 1 (R known 4th)
only remaining letters are the two R's both of which must be right.
RACES
if RACES is 1, V is the third letter as that is the only difference between RAVES and RACES
if RACES is 3, C is the third letter as that is the only difference between RAVES and RACES
Honestly if you do that I probably won't play... it makes things way to confusing and convoluted .
It's not a bad idea, in fact I had it myself lol... just not practical
