If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I wondered about posting a warning that today's word uses American spelling - but am I the only non-American here that plays this game?

You are at a distinct disadvantage, my friend. I would imagine that a 5 letter word list or other such device would be a great advantage for British English speakers.

Do you have the same issues, Alatar? Do you have tips for managing the challenge of different English word spellings? I've not been posting my scores either because I'm pretty boring/mostly 3's.

No its nothing like that, I just find the cutting and pasting a bit tedious and I don't really see the point? No offence to anyone who does, I suppose I just don't feel like its in any way a group activity?

WOAH!

And isn’t it amazing design how those letters flip green one by one, that you are almost not breathing?

Oh, I didn't mean issues posting scores, I meant issues with American vs British vs Canadian vs Irish spellings/language idiosyncrasies. I can see where that might trip a person up.

Heads up: There is an error with a letter in today's waffle that might throw some people off as the letter in question is yellow in another row and don't seem as if it can be used.

it is an(other) 'e' in the bottom word.
