I'm guessing the two birdies today were folks who had the prescience to go for RAYON before RADON.

So, you missed out on an eagle by going for RADON?

After my second guess, there were only three possibilities: BARON, RAYON, and RADON. And I ended up going through all three, finally getting it on my fifth guess.

pretty much. unscrambleit says radon was a slightly better guess (2.657 guesses left) than rayon (2.671), though both were in the top 10. I wanted to get the D in there, so i went for the deadly gas instead of the soft fabric

Also went through those exact 3. I wasn't 100% sure that rayon was an actual word and not a trademark that had evolved into common use like Kleenex and Band-Aid.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.
