Eh? Wassat noise? I woz kippin'!
I dunno, kids of today ... I died in two world wars for the likes of you, bring back National Insurance, that's what I say. Couple of years in a building society do you a world of good! Mumble, mumble, mumble ...

Nix verstehen. Billy Idol (1955), maybe three to five years older than you and 8 years older than me 
[Edit]
And wtf, he is looking 10 years younger than me

Looks like you're playing hard mode and a truly nasty word showed up.
|
|

Without setting hard mode on, I play by the rules of hard mode.
After the 4th attempt, I wondered if I should use the strategy of trying to eliminate letters by choosing words that may not have known letters in them but decided against it.
O, live and learn!

It depends a lot on the first word - I choose a different word every time mostly, but make sure there are either 2 vowels, or, at least 1 vowel and 1 common letter.

I usually choose different starting words each day. Today, it was SPIRE.

That's probably a spoiler - and should be labeled as such in the subject?
Personally, I'm glad I didn't see that before I try for myself - it would have annoyed me to have been "given" two letters.

I agree. No clues please. I also had completed before reading, but would have been annoyed by this - and also the original post.

I got bored with the game.
I use the same starting words:
lower
quips
ketch
mangy
It covers MOST the letters, leaves me 2 guesses. Catches Common Endings
I have a couple go to words (bifid) to catch b/f/d (love how it lights up for bread)
the hardest words turn out to be doubled letters.
I end up sitting down with a piece of paper for the last 2 if it is not obvious.
But it usually comes to me. Having played a lot of word games, once you get the right letters.
The word usually comes out. Although I have had a couple of times where it's an anagram of 2-3 words. Ouch!
PS: is there a way I can replay THAT game? (forgive the ignorance)

The prospect scares me, because 99 times out of 100 if something isn't being done in C++ by others it's either because it is and I just wasn't aware of it, or it isn't because it's an anti-pattern.
GFX is basically one big selector.
What it does is take usually two different things at compile time, and based on their on respective capabilities, it will perform the operation you gave it differently. For example, a raw bitmap exposes its memory directly through begin() and end(), but a display device cannot since it's connected over a bus. It however, has ways to do DMA transfers, so it supports methods like copy_from and copy_to potentially which can copy a window of pixels from or to the display. Failing that, there's always reading and writing individual pixels, but that is the last resort.
What happens is this - at compile time
Operation+CompileTimeArguments+DrawDestination(maybe +DrawSource) = Signature
That selects different code paths based on different capabilities of the draw source and destination, the operation, and the arguments. At compile time. In doing so it basically legos code together to make an efficient code path for performing the operation with the given arguments.
The templates to make this happen are a mess, but I don't know how else I can achieve the sort of flexibility and efficiency I enjoy with this technique.
It's amazing. It's also probably incomprehensible if you didn't write it, but thus far I've been able to maintain it for a year as it has grown and evolved. The architecture remains the same.
I don't know what to call this technique "multiplexing code selection?" ack.. no matter what it's a mouthful, but one of the problems with it is it creates an exponentially larger test matrix as you add more compile time variation.
It strikes me as an anti-pattern maybe, but I refuse to accept that absent an alternative to accomplish what GFX does.

Would doing it at run-time be preferable? Sounds like not.

It's not practical, and in some cases I don't think it's possible? I'd have to think around too many corners right now to be sure of that last bit.
I like the way I'm doing things, but if there's a better alternative I'll take it, particularly where maintenance is concerned. It's hard to even get the compiler to instantiate all of my templates and thus compile all of it, much less test it at run time. I've run into compile errors on versions I've released (early on, but yikes).
