I've been into this one lately as well. Seems like I can either get it in 4 attempts, or completely fail. Like you said, good way to keep the brain cells ticking.My kids have got me going on another NYTimes game called "Connections"
16 words that can be arranged into 4 groups of 4. You are allowed 3 miss-groupings before a final attempt causes one to lose the game. Keeps the brain cells ticking.
Connections - Group words that share a common thread

I've tried the Spelling Bee one as well, but for some reason it kicks you out early if you get too many points too soon.
