And so the madness continues! Here's our 9th thread to discuss, boast and rant about the game that is more pointless than Pointless, needs Masterminds to solve and will make Eggheads of us all, what with the amount of hair-pulling it induces!

If you have no clue what I'm on about, our last thread is here, and the game itself can be found here.

To any newbies, welcome to the dark side, and to those who have played before, thanks for keeping me company I'm this!

@KatyMac if someone is 964 that have got something relating to the answer - a lower green

JaneJeffer · 12/04/2022 00:18

they not that

KatyMac · 12/04/2022 00:27

Thanks - I am running out of time!

JaneJeffer · 12/04/2022 00:38

If that gets you 861 then 861 will 1000!

ChuckBerrysBoots · 12/04/2022 05:21

59 for me. Annoyingly after yesterday’s debacle I didn’t start with one of my usual words, which would have got me straight into the 800s!

Keeprunning123 · 12/04/2022 05:45

MrsLargeEmbodied · 12/04/2022 06:20

frustrating as i discounting putting 923 - as mentioned on the radio i was listening to - as irrelevant, but that would have been a high green

First time without googling it or any hints. My first green was 359 and got stuck with every variation of that. Good one for me today.
