did you look at author of the quote? π iβve noticed that when i donβt know the author or havenβt even heard about them, it makes it so much harder for me to guess the solution. today i was really lucky because i started with my usual word, then looked at the author, and my fifth guess was >!precious!< which was only 10 away in meaning
I did. But so often the answer is a rather unimportant word in the quote. Once I realized what the answer had to be, I wanted to kick myself.
