I had the same experience. I locked in to the first letter within a few guesses, but then struggled to find words that began with the second letter I wanted to guess. Eventually, I realized that, since I was on my phone, I could take advantage of predictive text to help me out (okay... "cheat" is probably more accurate). I doubt that I would have figured it out on my own (due to the word being totally unrelated to the word that makes up the first few letters).
