Part of it is that God's Eyes was the only person giving clues and, after a few initial guesses, I was apparently the only one still in the game. My last guess had two words correct in it but they were in the wrong positions. I had already correctly guessed two of these puzzles and by that time was wondering if this was going to be a case of only God's Eyes making the puzzles and only I guessing them. If that was the case, I wasn't going to spend any more time on them.
I also came up with a puzzle of my own that to date has received no guesses but is still active. Here it is again:

Longer puzzles may look more difficult but are really not. The longer puzzles offer a better chance of producing clues from the initial guesses in the form of correctly-guessed single words, which makes their final solution easier. This is much like Hangman, where you have to guess more letters but you have a better chance of guessing a correct letter.
