The word ‘Lying’ stumped me on one game. I couldn’t figure it out as I had 2 spots to fill with just 1 vowel left :roll_eyes:

I haven’t been playing for long but can a letter be used twice?

Yes. As in ‘knoll’, which was a solution last week (another one was ‘abbey’). Interestingly I don’t think plural ‘s’ forms have been used yet…not to say that they won’t be.

How did you get that in one go? This took me 5 goes today.

Yeah, and it was a tad controversial one of the first times it happened (after the game became popular) - the description of the game doesn’t specifically say that letters could be repeated so people assumed they werent going to be

NGL, I saw a cryptically worded tweet with someone’s score. Unfortunately it gave it away immediately!

You sure it wasn’t @Bort’s post? Don’t feel like you need to tip-toe around it because he’s on staff, call poor form like this where you see it! :smiley:

Apparently the answer list is in the code somewhere…but that would spoil all the fun. ‘Sugar’ was mentioned as one of the solutions in a blog post and sure enough, it turned up a day after (only glanced at the post…)

I looked into it - if you know where to look it’s not hard to find.

Supposedly there is 3 years worth of words in there without getting any repeats

I think over 2000 words are in the solution bank; by my maths that gives you well over 5 years without a repeat? But I could be wrong about that.

I saw the ‘crypted’ clue from Bort but it didn’t help me. When I got it was like duh.

I knew the answer before seeing his clue and it took me a minute to get it - its a bit niche (but very on topic for the site)

my friend said that todays answer was one of his go-tos, but he decided to branch out and try some unusual words
