Phew! That was a close one! I got it in 3....ORATE CUPID HIPPO. But it took me a while. I had the P placed. I then tested the I and O in every possible combination around the P. The only sensible words I came up with were Topic and Hippo. T & C already gone, so had to be Hippo.... ORATE CUPID HIPPO
Phew!! ☺️☺️☺️. I used two different starting words, but also ended up with just yellow i and o in the same places as you did. I tried porch (no hard mode for me!) and then hippo in 4. NYT took widow out of the original list??
Nice job! WIDOW is still in the original answer list but it was put at the end of the word list before Tracy became editor because of the controversy with it
@Burnt99 Thanks for the explanation. Amongst our friends and family it's just a word which describes someone's marital status. Same with widower of course. We've never come across anyone in that situation who has thought the description was in any way odd or controversial. ☺️
Phew! I'm glad you got the word.
A 3 for me.
AROSE, TULIP, HIPPO
Great job!

@@sambright3719 Yeah the NYT is annoying with what they think as "controversial" and "obscure" tbh
