Word was "vexed". Got 16 wrong letters and 3 wrong guesses out of that one, which = 19 as we scored it then.

EDIT: Technically it would be 20 if you count someone guessing "o" twice :p I can see that though. Over half the letters in the alphabet were listed, honest mistake missing it in a sea of wrong answers [smooth stretch/flex]
