Luna's Room seems interesting to me. Thanks Orion.

Hi, Marian!

Maybe Big Fish is using an antiquated billing system. If they charge the credit card they have on file for our membership, the transaction would automatically be approved or declined and there should be no lag time. Just to be on the safe side, though I will be checking the prices before I buy any future games.

Well done, folks - that tidies it up nicely!

Thanks Orion

Thank you, BET 😑

I finished Episode 10 of Artifact Seekers with 8 stars. I had only 7 but went back in and replayed one puzzle that gave me a star for being quick. I did, however, consult that guide a couple of times in this episode. My brain isn't working as well as it was when I first started playing the game. I'm not understanding some of the puzzles.

I have also been playing Escape Rosecliff Island (hog) and replaying The Spell (match 3).

I think it's an interesting question about how we get inspired when we write these clues - I'd love to hear how you all do it.
Do you come up with a word you want to clue for and write the clue around it?
Or do you think of a clever indicator for a chunk of letters and then find a word that contains them?
I do both, but more often the latter. If I try to start with the word, every answer will be some kind of food.

Anyway, keeping things going.

Counter story about first born (5)

I read What We Can Know last year, Lex, and my reaction was similar to yours. The premise that we can't truly know the personal lives of those who lived generations before us is a good one, but it dragged in spots. I enjoyed it, but it went into my give-away pile when I finished it.

Unfortunately this does seem to be what is happening. Any HOPAs now are almost without exception just Do Games and 5 BN. I think Friendly Fox might have a few more planned but no idea when we might see those. Perhaps I was underestimating the number of people who are still pleased by HOP games. I like the occasional one now and then but not as a steady diet.

The good news is that I have had a huge backlog of unplayed HOPA games and that number now, while still considerable, is definitely diminishing.

Thanks Marian!
