I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Somewhat annoying. Got one in the hint bucket because I went West instead of North.

Learned two new words there. Still don't know, or care, what they mean.

Why'd you use a hint up just before the end, when you already knew all the letters of the last word?

My guess is he spotted a word that didn't use all the letters he had left but hadn't noticed he only needed one word.

I've got six of the seven words of 290, but can't for the life of me make sense of the remaining letters at bottom right!
