@Neu it's not an unhelpful word. Perhaps 996 is more negative than the secret word though.

That was harder than it should have been!

Thanks for the tip about antonyms @LadyOfTheCanyon. I was plugging away at the other 'theme'!

How useful are 950 and 943 please?

Very useful but like the hint given below, remember antonyms too.

Think I tried all the synonyms for 999,

I am pretty sure the antonyms reminder on here saved from a day of misery, so thank you!

Haudyourwheesht · 16/05/2022 10:10

Given that 987 was my 59th guess I should really have got this one quicker.

I'm bobbing around those sorts of words but not much higher - 955 and 956 are my highest so far.

InMySpareTime · 16/05/2022 10:26

@ErrolTheDragon why is 950 not 956?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/05/2022 10:55

After so many synonyms I decided to try an opposite just in case 🙄

I didn't get on well with this one, nor did I find it particularly interesting. I used more hints that usual, because I just couldn't get in to the swing of it

MoonriseKingdom · 16/05/2022 19:23

Can anyone give a clue. I’m at a ridiculously high number of guesses. My best so far are 930, 926, 916, 906, 900 and 898!

EdwinsActsOfKindness · 16/05/2022 19:29

My average is slowly creeping up. I need to sharpen my game.

Hmmm, hopefully someone else will come along with a better clue but if someone is a 930, then their options may be a bit secret word.

MoonriseKingdom · 16/05/2022 19:34

Thanks I’ll look at that 😀
