Brings my average down a bit! But no idea where my early (cold) guesses were taking me - I thought there was a definite theme there that has nothing to do with the secret word.

Got 984 fairly quickly, bit of messing around from there but was another fairly straightforward one for me today. I’m on a bit of a roll, which means I’m bound to get some awful ones soon.

Just looking at the nearest word, wonder if anyone guessed 985, 980 or 978 - are there really that many news articles with those words in that they’d appear so high?

I regularly use those words in my daily conversation!

Had to use two hints!

At least that felt quick compared to today's Cemantle!
Early greens weren't helpful so I used a hint which gave me 460 and then climbed relatively quickly from there.

At last!

Ah, found you!

I found today's word quite quickly for me. Only 3 greens before I got it!

Arghh... why am I still without a green at guess 93? My highest so far has a score of 25.37 which is only .01% below #1, I feel like I must be missing some whole obvious field.

Would it help if I knew what you do?

Seconded 😀

am also stuck!

I got 992, 989 and 975 but am now going backwards, it seems. Am I on the right track? Feeling very confused today.

Those are all good, @ScrambledSmegs The target word fits with them well in descriptions.

Got there eventually. Should possibly have got it sooner, considering some of my earlier greens.

Not sure why but don't feel like I'm enjoying this game anymore, I'll keep going a bit longer.

I'm struggling after an early leap into the greens for me...are these any use:
992
989
986
975
908
899

Suddenly got into the right area - my high colds having been decidedly unhelpful

Yes, 992 is for sure.
