If the Crossword Clue game is to continue, we should have a list of the words we’ve used, so as not to use them again. Plus, not clogging up the game thread with past words. So here is where we can post the words used. I’ve tried to alphabetize them, but if I’ve made any errors, feel free to correct. America blind Bruce capital case cat chicken clear coffee count cross deposit dressing drive escape face finger frank green ghost heart middle nun paper scratch shadow spirit stand step stock stream table tape turn Players can add more words to this thread as they occur. ---
