I should clarify that I love puzzles of all kinds, so the feuds are always fun to me. This one’s ‘tough’ in that I thought we’d get lots of different answers for the questions, and not that I couldn’t think up any answers. Bad choice of words on my part.

Oh no! I knew what you meant! When there’s a million answers to choose from, it’s tough to know what will score.
