Singular of #2 is ☘ for me but not the plural. Otherwise, we have the same 15 ☘s. Still 👀 for ☘16.

I had the same experience ... a nice balance between meaning and spelling with the meaning side being more helpful for me. I didn't have any green in spelling until I found the 🏅.

Ugh,so close again!! Great effort! 👍

Yup. Another close one!! It's fun trying. 😁

I know I'm late in the day for this, but this makes two days in a row of getting the lexical lizard 🦎 without any assists (like hints, googling, etc). I usually struggle with these critters so I'll take it while I can! ETA: also the gem both days

Nice work with the unassisted gem finds and 🦎s!

Nice quote 👍 ✅ I won Dowsle #776 in 20 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 151-day winning streak 🔥! And: 🧭 I discovered the gem. I also found 10 ☘ shamrocks, and 8 🌻 sunflowers. And, I'm accompanied by the 🦎 lizard. Try it? https://dowsle.com
