How tricky was C___S?
The vowels sit in positions 2 and 4. 2 of its letters (A, S) are among the ten most common in English, so a standard opener would have caught them. The repeated letter A is what catches many players, since guesses usually test five different letters. The word starts with C and ends with S; checking the first and last letters is often the quickest way to narrow down a Canuckle answer.
