I'm curious what this will result in.
Let's see what Etymonline has to say...
I guess that answers my question.swarthy (adj.) Look up swarthy at Dictionary.com
"dark-colored," especially of skin, 1580s, unexplained alteration of swarty (1570s), from swart + -y (2). Related: Swarthiness.
swart (adj.) Look up swart at Dictionary.com
Old English sweart "black, dark," of night, clouds, also figurative, "wicked, infamous," from Proto-Germanic *swarta- (source also of Old Frisian, Old Saxon, and Middle Dutch swart, Dutch zwart, Old Norse svartr, German schwarz, Gothic swarts "dark-colored, black"), from PIE root *swordo- "dirty, dark, black" (source of sordid). The true Germanic word, surviving in the Continental languages, displaced in English by black. Of skin color of persons from late 14c. Related: Swartest.
curious: 1 right, 0 misplaced, 6 wrong. Nice!
serious: 2 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong. Use this information wisely.

Oh, I did, and wonderfully I must admit. However, to be honest I must admit that Lingo does make my feelings shift fast. Sometimes I find myself kinda angry as I break my head in the search of the answer. However, when I do find the answer, it feels satisfying. Maybe that's why I find delight in playing this game after all.

Anyway, thanks much. Glad to know I can still give some competition. Anyway, onwards! Let's step it up: 12 letters.

Will I succeed prosperously with this guess?
I sure hope the solution to this puzzle is not unachievable.

2 right... 110 possibilities to determine which 2 letters they are (because it's obviously not the L)... I think I'll save that bit of info for later.
At least the 0 right above is helpful. Can't get much out of the 3 and 6 misplaced right now (saving that info for later).
Let's see if I can improve this situation and extract more information from a similar word: unattainable.
Why am I saying all this?, you may ask. Well, it's because I want to encourage more people to play. Maybe showing them how I do it will help.

Oh, nice! Not only is just one of those letters in the right place, but also one of the following holds:
1. The 4th letter is a C or
2. The 5th letter is an H or
3. The 6th letter is an I or
4. The 7th letter is an E or
5. The 8th letter is a V.
There is more information to obtain from comparing those 2 guesses, for example that if 2 of the above conditions hold, then 1 letter from the "ttain" in unattainable is in the right place, and so on... But that's something I will, again, save for later.
And also since there is a new misplaced letter, then either the 6th letter is indeed an I or the word has a T, 2 Ns or 3 As.
Of course, if the word has a C, H, 2 E's or a V, then at least 2 of the conditions from my previous statement hold. I may use this info when I'm not so tired.
I'm anticipating the next batch of information.

I'm too lazy or busy to make a grid now or examine Gabi's reply in more detail, but I think it would be just as embarrassing not to post.
Grids or not, I think the goal should be to enjoy the game as you think your way to the truth, which you guys are getting closer to.
