Yesterday I got fooled by the “s”. I had at least 2 more of the longest words IF I put the “s” on the end (which I didn’t, because I’m not used to s’s in these games). I tried sudoku, but it wouldn’t accept it… but sudokus was the longest word!

Got here with 45 words and both pangrams, but still well short of 🐝… not sure I’ll pursue this any further…

Hardest part for me was coming up with words in the later rounds to get to the pears… (although I also did not get many of the longest pears). Very interesting game
