Next game goes to Elendil’s Heir.

Woohoo - thanks, DLR! For some reason I thought someone might’ve earlier asked about him, but thought I’d take a chance.

An update: Botticelli - the letters we've used so far - #61 by Elendil_s_Heir

Our next letter is

L

(Is there no way to use differently-colored text, or to make letters bigger, on the new board? I don’t see it)

204

< big> makes them bigger, but there’s only one size option.
< little> can be used more than once to give several smaller sizes.
Big
Normal
Little
Little x2
Little x3

The lack of colours is by far my biggest complaint about the current board.
