I started the round with two letters already in the grid, to get the ball rolling as it were. Didn’t seem fair to take that off your score. ---

Good grid, so many possibilities. Is there a C under 7-1? ---

Ah, that was my other guess, I was thinking UNCAP, but with a C at 7-0 its gotta be CRISP ---

:smack: Sorry, revealed the wrong square. But you were going to get it anyway, of course. Although I suppose it could still have been FRISK at that point. Anyway, well done **Bootis** , the answer is indeed CRISP. Final score: 10 blanks left plus two I revealed, minus two wrong guesses = 10. **Bootis** , care to run another round? ---
