It took me a while to get going today, and I ended up having to use a hint for the first answer. When that word was revealed, it still took me ages to figure out what it actually was because I couldn’t put the letters together properly! That word was GNOME, which, in my defense, is spelled weirdly, and once I figured it out, this game became a lot easier.
