 Ah, I think you *might* need to enable popups. - When I finish, a small overlay screen appears with a 'share' option. - Sharing copies it to your clipboard, and it pastes as the basic character set, so will go anywhere.
Oh, I've seen that, but wasn't aware that's what the Share button did!

Let's check...

“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

TIL that today's word has two anagrams, neither of which have any of the letters in the same place... :)

Yeah, it was a strange word for them to choose.

I'd thought it a highly regionalised word, and people from English speaking regions beyond UK's boundaries have said they'd never heard of it!

Today's has finished me off. I have used almost every letter, and am on my last attempt with only one green letter, no yellow, and cannot think of any words from the remaining letters available! :rant:

I shall ponder it, but it looks like it's gonna be my second failure if *ever* I can think up of a word for the remaining letters to complete the game today...

It was HORRID! ) goosed up with attempt 4, but I had next to no letters left to form a word from, and then it all came clear.
