Solving Approach
This one works out to about 5.3 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. At hard difficulty, letter frequency alone won't get you far — cross-reference candidate letters against multiple words before committing to one.
