You seem to like dark mode. I must admit with longer sessions I have to shift back and forth or my eyes stop working properly.
 
  • #7,481
Dark mode is great! It makes everything look techy and cool and also helps me not burn my eyes out from the bright light.
Oh, and it's battery saving!

Thought a little longer this time. IMBUE seemed an error but I seem to remember it wasn’t a solution in an earlier challenge, so I gave it a try anyway. Probably for the best cause it prepared the way for the right one.

Found this one difficult. After the fourth try I was sure the solution was something Hawaiian; because of the number of ‘A’s and the fact that ‘U’ was still available. Unfortunately the only Hawaiian word I know is “luau”.

The actual solution didn’t come easy to me as in Danish the word only has 1 ‘L’, but in the end it struck suddenly.

I was about to complain that ALAMO wasn't a proper noun or whatever the criteria is. I mean I thought proper names weren't acceptable. Until I actually looked it up. A tree, really? Well talk about learning words....
