I used two hints but to be fair the first was 844...not sure how that was going to help (quite literally!)

Not really.

Where do the words come from, cos if you think newspaper headlines the top 1000 today are REALLY depressing.

FUCK THAT! I mean WHAT! I had 921 on guess 23 and then ended up in the 290/248/821 land. I also had 803 if anyone can explain g how that's related?!?

Oh my fucking Christ! I think I broke my brain on this one.

That was annoying. This game sometimes feels like some kind of ai training I know it's not, the bloke who made it is on reddit and has just sold to a bigger company.

I hope that doesn't mean we will get bombarded with ads @Featuredcreature

Yesterday was ok, but I got swamped in a green sea of confusion today after an early but misleading green.

Am I on the right track please?

I've got a different set...so probably one or both of us needs to think a bit laterally

That's my best score so far.

@ErrolTheDragon my brain is totally stuck on this line of thought. Urgh!

Please can I have a hint? I used 9 yesterday in frustration and am so near…

I've got 936 now which is on those two lists ...

936 has the right ending and is sort of on the right lines. It's quite a journalistic word.

I hate using hints but hey ho!

How does 936 get around? Not 1000 but will help get some higher greens x

@Etinoxaurus 996/999 but how a journo would say it
