Getting the hang of it now, and can see a few familiar names from the Wordle and connections threads! 👋🏻

It took me a bit of time to get used to it @ThePoshUns. Good to see you!

I also needed a nudge to get me looking in the right direction.

@ThePoshUns, if you want to see just how much the NYT repeats favourite words, do the crossword! You won't believe how often Oreo is an answer 😆

Had to Google the last one. All the others came out so quickly, I didn't build up any hints.

Same! But you can still get hints if you’ve completed all the others - it lets you find words in amongst the ones you’ve already found.
Ended up doing the double hint where it shows you the letters in the right order, as Google / anagram solvers didn’t help!
