How tricky was T___B?
The vowel sits in position 3. 2 of its letters (H, T) are among the ten most common in English, so a standard opener would have caught them. With five different letters, each good guess can rule letters in or out quickly. The word starts with T and ends with B; checking the first and last letters is often the quickest way to narrow down a Canuckle answer.
