@BistoBear ! Do you not fancy giving Pips a go?
Maybe skip today's one as it was a bit of a mind bender 😆

Well done to all the Pippers , I doff my hat to you all 👏🌟

I did try it at the start but got disheartened by how rubbish I am 😂😂 I should try again though 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thanks for the explanation @SpecialSpaghettini I couldn't work out what I was supposed to do at all.

Mind you, today's alphaguess.com was apt, though DH came in and talked to me while I was flicking through my mental rolodex

Ahah! First time I opened pips and got a tutorial! It's always taken me straight to the game. I completed the easy one and then it crashed on me!

You're very welcome @Willow12345 !

I would like to do well at Pips as it’s my kind of thing of solving puzzles and discovering patterns. But no.
