Haven't understood the dots and lightbulbs yet.

I think lightbulb is a hint, blue is the correct words and yellow is the spangram.

Today's confused me by having two words as the spangram as I'd tried them both separately.

Haven't understood the dots and lightbulbs yet.

When you complete a word - it gives you a blue dot. When you find the spanagram - a word/words that describes the theme of the day it gives you a yellow dot. The spanagram spans the whole board from one side to the other.

a lightbulb is when you use a hint - which you earn by finding 3 non theme words.

I really enjoyed that, adding it to the regulars list!

HarpQuartet · 07/03/2024 10:40

Ah, thank you for the explanations!

HelloMist · 07/03/2024 12:41

Don't think I'll be a regular here but I tried it today just to see.

Don't understand how to use hints but I got it anyway (with a little help from a friend!)

@DoYouWantMeToBeTheCat

It wouldn't give me any more hints for some reason!

Could be a bug - I was offered more hints today.
