I don't think I've ever guessed an answer without something in the top 1000 before. My highest guess was at 25.98 similarity.

Wandered around the wider subject exploring lots of different angles! But painless.

Yesterday’s Junior was ‘spell’ and we ended up on almost 500 guesses and multiple hints as we just couldn’t get there from what we had. But the hints were hilarious. 990s included ‘Peter’ and ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’.

chocolateavocado · 01/10/2022 12:55

@Doubleraspberry I also did junior yesterday it was bonkers. I took hints in the end and my favourite was achilles Confused. It was in the 900s.
