It took me a while to get started today, and eventually I had to use a hint for the first answer. Then, when that word was revealed, it took me a long time to figure out what it actually was, because I couldn't put the letters together correctly! That word was GNOME, which, in my defense, is spelled weirdly, and once I figured it out, this game became a lot easier.
