  5. Tried to guess the middle word first cause I thought a two-letter word would be easier to guess. Got there in the end!

  11. That stupid second word! I literally went through every vowel combo until it hit me!

    I also spent way too long on the last word. (Spoiler) my first attempt was “levelofgay” all one word, lol. But I got there eventually!
