Haven't understood the dots and lightbulbs yet.

I think lightbulb is a hint, blue is the correct words and yellow is the spangram.

Today's confused me by having two words as the spangram as I'd tried them both separately.

@HarpQuartet

Haven't understood the dots and lightbulbs yet.

When you complete a word - it gives you a blue dot. When you find the spanagram - a word/words that describes the theme of the day it gives you a yellow dot. The spanagram spans the whole board from one side to the other.

a lightbulb is when you use a hint - which you earn by finding 3 non theme words.

I really enjoyed that, adding it to the regulars list!

[HarpQuartet]

Ah, thank you for the explanations!

[HelloMist]

Don't think I'll be a regular here but I tried it today just to see.

Don't understand how to use hints but I got it anyway (with a little help from a friend!)

@DoYouWantMeToBeTheCat

Had to do some hints initially but got the hang in the end

It wouldn't give me any more hints for some reason!

[HarpQuartet]

Could be a bug - I was offered more hints today.
