Mated
'Fraid not.
Remaining blanks: 13+2, Incorrect guesses: 1 (MATED)
If MATED is wrong, I think I can guess row 3, so lets try 35

aha, thought so. It’s BORED, right?
Sorry Peter, it’s not.
Remaining blanks: 12+2, Incorrect guesses: 2 (MATED, BORED)
What does the +2 indicate in the above score?
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.
Row 3 could be BOGEY – let’s see 37.

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

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?
Yeah, wherever that C went was the key.
Sure, I’ll have one up in a minute
Ok, just a one letter hear start- making a decent grid is hard! this might go quick…
