Well there's a start... I know the word has exactly one O from SHAMPOO = 0.5 and DAMPISH = 0.

With POLYPOD = 1 either the O = 0.5 or O = 1. If O = 1 then L and Y can't be correct. So if I can prove LY aren't in the word then the first O must be correct. The second O can't be correct or SHAMPOO = 1 instead of 0.5

If DISPLAY = 0 then ?O?????.

POOLING is now interesting... not P-OLI--. So either N or G is correct or NG is in the word.

HYMNING = 1.5 leaves ---N-NG. So either the word has NNG or ?????N? is correct. G can't be correct because then the N in POOLING would have to be 0.5 instead of 0.

If POPLINS = 2 then ?O???N? since PLIS can't be in the word.

Eliminated letters [ADGHILMPSY]

Next... SHAMBLE = 0.5 means either the B or E is correct.

If E = 0.5 then there can't be an R from SPOILER.

If there is no R then VT from AVATARS have to be 0.5 which would then mean no U from STRUDEL.

If we go with B = 0.5 then the R = 0.5 from SPOILER since no E.

That would also mean a V or T but not both from AVATAR and a T or U from STRUDEL. So either T or VU.

There is a second N because of HYMNING = 1.5 and POOLING = 2.0

So using ?O???N? we need either

a ENTV which leaves one letter missing

a BNRT which leaves one letter missing

a BNRUV which accounts for all the letters

Only word I can come up with... CONVENT

the above wasn't a proof... I was just thinking out in type... and I made a mistake...

AVATARS could be T in the correct position which would make ?O?T?N? with a EN somewhere in there.

The B route would still require R in the wrong position which still force V or T in wrong position and then U if not T so that is fine.

So second guess would be CONTENT?
