Oh, woe is me. No fun for me today. *sigh* (I changed my strategy/went back to an older strategy today)

Eldy, I've done many of those special Squaredle puzzles. They'll keep you busy for a good long while.

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've done the 10x10 Squardles.. both around 900 words. The 'Abandon all hope' one is awfully hard and took me weeks. I just kept plodding along...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I glanced at the 10x10 puzzles and decided that was a challenge best postponed, given how obsessive I can get when I want to push through and complete something. But we shall see.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I agree Eldy. Do some of the other special puzzles, they are hard enough. Unless you REALLY REALLY REALLY want an all consuming, head-banging, totally frustrating distraction-from- everything-else-challenge, I'd not recommend 'Abandon all Hope'. I thought today's puzzle was challenging, but fun.
Speaking of challenges, I've been trying to set up recipe pages for my daughter's (custom made) recipe book. I'd like to print both sides so it needs to be off set and the page size is odd. It's driving me bonkers. I think I'm almost there. I suppose I should be doing constructive things rather than playing puzzles all day.

My change in strategy didn't work so well with today's word, but I probably wouldn't have done any better with my regular starter words either.

Nice Jude!
Inanna, at first I thought that game was like Spelling Bee/SpellsBee (which I also play every day) but I see the word doesn't necessarily use all of the letters and you can't use a letter twice. That's a new challenge for me.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
That's odd - I didn't notice that. I had 4 guesses to spare.
