That took longer than intended ... but persistence paid off and I got there in the end.

@ColinTheMathmo ok so the "working from bottom up" strategy is really nice... prevents me from missing suffixes that I might not have included if I went top-down.

@ColinTheMathmo @amcsquared today I was lucky there were more suffixes 😉

@ColinTheMathmo woohoo!! I saw your result but then when I first looked at the puzzle I saw NOTHING ... just went back to it now & hoped for inspiration and got it!

@christianp Took 11 games to get 1 set with correct order.
Thankfully it aborts game play with first mistake.

Holding fire to see whether or not a trailing "s" was needed ... that did the trick here.

@ColinTheMathmo not perfect but SO much better than yesterday's (I had to get a hint for the first time in nearly 100 games! 😭)

Staying with friends, one of whom has a package that has just been dispatched from source, and I am reminded of this:

I marked a word in this, didn't commit it, stared for ages to see hoe to complete the area around it, then realised it was wrong!

So I'm really happy with this result:

@amcsquared @ColinTheMathmo
Had a good go this morning! Happy with this because I didn't see words at the top at first, so worked from bottom of the grid.

I'm closing in on 100 puzzles without hints. [I sometimes miss the day's puzzle due to time difference, so I don't have a "streak"]
