BBD but it’s actually quite nice, I wasn’t familiar with one of them so that didn’t help.

Same! Lost the will, but also...spelling?! Am sure one of those things is not quite right...

If you mean Check, that's the correct American spelling of Cheque.

goldtrap · 06/09/2026 09:16

Nope! Will check (see wot I did there 😆) at end of day so no spoilers....

Ahhh, yes, I see the one you mean and yes, I'd use the other spelling. I think you're right, it's a mistake.

Used hints once I was down to one life. Blues was simpler than I was expecting.

I looked at it @Peridot1 but I could see five options so decided to look at other connections first.

I didn't see a RH (although I thought purple might be it but did it anyway!)
Going back to look!

(yesterday's 'Free Reign' tripped me up - I thought it was free rein (as in giving a horse free rein).
