Let's see. After #45, we know the the word has to be one of: sp?r? spo?? Only words fitting one of these patterns can have all the correct scores. Thus jep's guess of "spoon" is possible, and all the rest are wrong. If we consider the possibilities for the third letter in "sp?r?", we see none of aeio are possible. It pretty much has to be a vowel, so it is probably a "u". However, neither "spurs" nor "spurt" works and I cant think of any other "spur?" words. "spyr?" doesn't seem likely either. So we are pretty much stuck with "spo??". I can think of only three words that work. "Spool" is one. I'll guess spook.

We know the middle letter is "i"; their guesses eliminated the "wh" and "ch" from "which". friar
