I was also able to keep looping through six guesses over and over until it showed me the five green letters, I managed to "crack" the word as SKIMP, however apparently the word was SMIRK in the end? not sure what happened there.
She did say in the tweet replies that yes, it’s on her that her domain expired, the credit card expired and the reminder emails went to spam. That’s not what she is complaining about though.

I'm in Australia, a recent example I had was I typed in the supermarket chain "Woolworths" into Apple Maps search, started navigating, before realising it was navigating me to a petrol station that once upon a time had a Woolworths shop attached. Apple Maps literally did not differentiate between supermarkets and petrol station shops.
