Phew indeed! That was a tough one for me. I started to get a tad nervous, but the only word it could be after my 5th guess had to be Fluff, as far as I could see anyway.

My third six in a row! An alarming trend.

I listed all the ??A?E words I could think of, and WITCH eliminated most of them. I thought I was down to only two possibilities, then after I entered AGAVE I thought, “Wait, is AGAZE a word? Shit.”
So again, my streak is alive on a lucky coin flip. Jeez.

Someone may get tomorrow’s in one. I hope that isn’t a clue.

Interestingly enough did you know the word apage is opposite to the meaning of agape ?

Got to bust out the Scrabble tiles again to come up with a second word from the letters C + PTOREI. (No N because I already used M.) I actually saw voice for word 2 but I use the first two words for research, not guessing. The only exception is when I’m locked in by hitting too many letters in the first guess.

For the first time in the better part of a month, this was my second three in a row. A new streak begins!
