WORDGUESS4

An association and letter-deduction game

I’ll show you a clue word. I’m thinking of a related four-letter word containing four different letters.

Guess a four-letter word and I’ll tell you how many of its letters appear in mine. Repeated letters count repeatedly: if my word is BEND and you try BEEN, the score is 4.

You have 30 tries. Real and polite words, please!
