It would have been clever if it was actually guessable. I don't care about stats. I had to eventually Google what 5 letter word ended with x and came up with nothing with two As in their spots. Missed opportunity to make a good joke.
It's guessable xP It's a word I've run into several times when reading about various language topics on Wikipedia, and it's rather memorable, so I guessed it with guesses to spare. For a one-off that doesn't even count against you if you lose, I think it's a pretty clever choice.
