After 3 I just couldn’t see anything other than UNTIL, which I loved as an answer but has already been used. I was starting to get worried this would be a fail by running out of time instead of guesses. Pretty sure twirl was the only possible answer that hadn’t already been used, meaning I was locked into a 4 or fail. (Now watch there’s like a half dozen other answers I just didn’t see.) Several times throughout the day my mind went to Searching for Bobby Fischer: β€œDon’t move until you see it.” β€œI can’t see it.” ---
