Jude, I'm working on waffle (not done-still trying to work out the words) but I can tell it's going to be a tricksy one.
*eta: Finished. Appreciated the heads-up Jude.

Voronwë (and Beth) sounds like it's going to be a tricksy game day.

The scholardle today was a word for something I've known about but didn't know there was a specific word for it:

Hidden text.
"nocebo-
a detrimental effect on health produced by psychological or psychosomatic factors such as negative expectations of treatment or prognosis."

It's the precise opposite of placebo.
So, of course I didn't get the puzzle- but I did learn a new word.
