… 🧵 4/n …but re-guess some in new slots to test scratch-grid. Recurring words: in rows AND columns: ARENA EDGED ABODE ELOPE ABIDE ERASE and e.g. SxEEy, x = T N H L & y=L K R (many combos!) 2fers! e.g. if you have a row _T_R_ and suspect STARE, guess e.g. SHALE SNAKE SPACE. …end for now 😅

I have a self imposed starter word rule that applies to all word games- it's got to be something from my environment, something appropriate, or a word I just heard on TV/read in a book. That means it's different every day. I like a challenge!

It means the first word I think of is often storm, rainy, or windy, or tired, because it's often midnight and the weather is often bad!
