I just blew my 139 day streak trying to figure out what the word was. They don't usually give words quite that obscure.

Once I got the LO at the beginning and the S at the end I played every word I could think of with the letters I had left. I almost played LOCHS but figured that wouldn't be a word they'd throw at us. Little did I suspect they'd hit us with an even more uncommon word.

I keep a spreadsheet of possible words and previous answers to help with elimination, loris is not in the last 3000 word list I downloaded. Still got a 4 though.
