I always thought it was spelled "euphenism". It's good to learn the correct spelling, but could that be accepted as a type in, please?

These books are probably why I'm hooked on murder mysteries now, 40 years after 4th grade. LOL My kids loved them, too.

Sad that the boy detective wasn't Emil. Wrote in the wrong answer before reading the rest of the clue - loved that book

Could you also accept "Epos" instead of only Epic ? It means the same and in an ancient greek context it's more commonly used. At least in Europe, I presume :))
