Not bad today. SLATE wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible. With 60 words left and one green box left, I chose Geralt’s Horse for my second guess: ROACH reduced the number to three and then I chose another video game – CRACK – for my third and, as it turned out, final Supposition. It was the word! Almost like I have a knack for this game!
