The Hangman Game [REVIVED!]

This game works just like the famous code-breaking game Mastermind , only with letters instead of colours.

In this round, the answer is a 4-letter word. You cannot guess letters; only 4-letter words.
For each guess, I will give one point for every different letter that the guessed word has in common with the answer, and two points if that letter occurs in the same position in both words. (The examples below will clarify this.)

However, I will not disclose which letters you get right; just how many letters you got right. You have to use your powers of deduction (dun dun duuun) to figure out the answer. Here are a few examples (things in italics are secret):

(Answer: DUCK)
Guess: FROG - +0 (no letters in common -- no strikes will be given out this round, that would be kind of unfair)
Guess: BIRD - +1 (1 point for the D, because DUCK has a D)
Guess: PORK - +2 (2 points for the K, because it's in the same position [the last letter] in both words)
Guess: DRUM - +2 +1 (2 points for the D, 1 point for the U)
Guess: DODO - +2 (2 points for the D -- read the instructions above carefully)
Guess: DUNK - +2 +2 +2 (D, U and K are all in the same positions in both words)
Guess: DUCK - +8 (and that's the game)

You get the idea. The game ends when someone guesses the actual word. Big points at stake here, so take advantage of it!
