I got to 996 in 77 guesses.
Now on 102 guesses and getting worse.
Dh keeps saying are you still doing that?

InMySpareTime · 02/07/2022 10:01

@Floella22 you start well, but look at the end...

@Floella22 I actually now dislike getting 990s as I keep getting stuck on them. It took me a fair few from 999 today.

Thank you so much.
Got it in 3 after your clue.
You should write crosswords.
Perhaps you do.

InMySpareTime · 02/07/2022 13:20

Haha, no I don't, but I love wordplay and messing about with language.

Bit of a fluke!
Target word was close to one of my usual starter words.

InMySpareTime · 02/07/2022 13:56

@JaneJeffer halfway between 733 and 509. They're both way too vehement.

I got caught in the antonym trap, thought I was safe with 999!

I'll be impressed if anyone gets 997, it's clearly a mistype (or some sort of ancient tribesperson from deep history, but that seems much less likely)
