I think you can spell it either way Peter

I did! But the anagram only works in one.

I didn't spot an anagram

That's what happens when you start with a target letter pool rather than a target word.

Actually I started with the misspelled word and an anagram engine.

I think Antidiluvian was the answer to the first one I ever solved, set by Dalek Dave several lifetimes ago.

Four letters, (albeit, not in the right place), on my first go - and I'm thinking: "could I get this in two?" But I also faced too many options for that 2nd letter.

After guess 3, since you are faced with so many possibilities for letter 2, why do you not try an entirely different word that has all or most of the letter 2 candidates and eliminate as many as you can?
Unless... do you... play on hard mode? I don't know anyone who does
Cheers,
Vikram.

I had one letter in four wrong places before getting it right
Too bad I didn't get that last letter right.

Try a different starter word: I find that TINEA, AEROS and ARISE all give me good results because they cover the most common vowels, and common consonants. Even if they give me no yellow or green that's useful information!
So far - and I know this means I'll fail tomorrow - I haven't failed to get it in 6.

One of my starter words is Saute - if I'd used it a few weeks ago I'd have got it in one.

My starting word is ADIEU.

I often use EARLY for the same reason, also many words end in Y, LY or RLY
