Thanks, Rose! I figured it was time for another of my intermittent appearances. :)

I took a crack at Hurdle today, but I was trying to play on the "you must take into account every clue so far" mode, and I ran out of guesses trying to variants of words ending in...
Hidden text.
–ILLY
...and it made me think of some of your past comments about how that mode actually takes a lot of the strategy out of the game and replaces it with sheer dumb luck. A sentiment I'm inclined to agree with while sulking about losing in the first round. :P

I need to understand how the zoological tables work better to play metazooa. Often I'm just taking stabs in the dark (so to speak).
