Good job!


You might notice that my second guess looks suspiciously like your first guess. If someone figures out our clue, they'll get it in one, which is always fun, even if a bit tainted.

Even Wordlebot had two solid blank rows:

Interestingly, its third guess was an old solution.
This is the first time in 2 weeks I've bested it.
