I suddenly decided to guess random 3 letter words for word 2 and got there very quickly! Unfortunately lots of time wasted before that point.

I mistakenly thought that the second word had four letters, once I realised it had three it took very few tries.

MsMarvellous · 29/07/2022 20:47

Im on an iPhone. How do you know how many letters are in a redacted word?

@MsMarvellous long press on the word and it will "select" a space as if you were copying the text. Drag the space slowly across and count how many spaces fill the word.

After going down a bit of a rabbit hole I did the guessing random 3 letter words thing - got word 2 and subsequently word 1 very quickly after that.

MissedItByThisMuch · 30/07/2022 03:09

And thanks @InMySpareTime Smile

Given the first paragraph is given over to various spellings and pronunciation I'm impressed I got the right one first!

Got it in 36, a bit smoother than yesterday's one, that I utterly failed on.
