Background Hangman is a word guessing game where players try to guess a hidden word one letter at a time. Each incorrect guess results in drawing part of a hanging stick figure. The game is lost if the figure is completed (typically after 6 wrong guesses) before the word is solved.
Resolution Criteria
Every day, at ~8am UTC+1 the letter with the highest % (first in alphabetical order if there is a tie) will resolve.
Each letter in the alphabet (A-Z) will resolve YES if it appears in the hidden word, NO if it does not appear in the word.
I will reveal the hidden word and mark resolutions of the letter that didn't get resolved after the game concludes.
The game concludes when either:
The word is successfully guessed (all letters revealed)
The hangman figure is completed (6 incorrect guesses)
Capitalization is ignored - guessing 'a' or 'A' counts as the same letter.
If a letter appears multiple times in the word, guessing that letter once reveals all instances.
Considerations
The hidden word will be in English and contain only letters (no numbers, spaces, or special characters).
I obviously won't bet on this market.

@probajoelistic It seems we're using different starting population lists. Your list has some words that mine doesn't.

I used some guy's web app which has the advantage of sorting by common words first. I doubt any of the extra words my list has will be right, though, given that it's supposed to be "not easy, but doable"
@probajoelistic I agree, that hint is huge. I culled my list manually and ran odds with that list instead.
@probajoelistic Just to be clear, this like doesn't mean anything about wether this word is right or not.
@Quroe what was the origin of your word list? If it's incomplete, is there a way to scrape Wiktionary for all words with an English entry? They have quite a few really obscure words
@TheAllMemeingEye I downloaded a 4 GB txt file of what I presumed to be a complete list of English words here.

@JussiVilleHeiskanen We're down to 62 options. It's not going to be easy, but we can at least profiteer along the way.

@JussiVilleHeiskanen Holy heck, you're right. I originally thought that it was just because it wasn't in my initial word list -- which it wasn't -- but when it didn't appear after I added it, you were on to something. Fixed.
