For this portion of the challenge, we have a list of 5-letter words that you must guess in as few tries as possible. For each word, we will start by telling you the first letter, after which you will make a guess.

After each guess, we will help you by telling you which (if any) of the letters in your word are in the correct place, and which are in the wrong place. For example, if the word is "aimed" and you guessed "alien" we would tell you that the E was in the correct place and the I was in the wrong place. Each guess you make does not have to match all the clues we have given you so far, but you do have to match the first letter, and you do have to give an actual English word, not counting proper nouns.

Your final score will be your total number of attempts in guessing all 10 words. If you do not guess a word within 10 attempts, then you will score "10" for that word and we will move on to the next word. Obviously, the lower your score, the better.

You are not to use a dictionary or any other form of help for this challenge. You also must not reveal any of these words to the other players.

If this challenge could be done all at once at a time when you and one of the mods are both online, then that would be most convenient.

I'm going to guess for now that I got second in each component of the challenge, mostly as a form of playing it safe. As for the tiebreaker, I'll guess 4 points.

On second thought, I'll go for first on the puzzle, and 2nd on the others. New tiebreaker: 3 points.
