Crossplay fun challenge only using sweeps vs computer (hard)

I never really post to Reddit but thought people might find this a fun challenge. Sorry if it’s been done and mentioned before.

The idea is to try and beat the computer set on hard but only use sweeps (all seven letters) to each time. So you can swap letters or pass turns but can’t play anything but sweeps right to the end. Taken me a few days and plenty of cancelling games early but got the tile swap technique better today and had a few close ones (one by a point ffs) then finally wormier came in woooo! Great relief. Lots of luck involved too.

I am no pro at all and don’t know all the mad words in the dictionary by a long shot but it was fun anyway. So thought others might enjoy it. Happy to share my chatbot (in the game post analysis) word order with anyone. Chatbot in the game said my letter luck was 70 which is quite high so guess the challenge could be to win with lower luck than that. HYDRATES, PILLAGER, BRASHES, TEARING, WORMIER.

Best of luck if anyone fancies trying
