Any chance you could swing "current" for violent flow of water?

Level 79

Jul 1, 2024

11 years on, and the same struggles remain ;) I agree, current should be accepted as well

Level 45

Dang, knew "garrote" but couldn't figure out how to spell it. (Stupid "e".)

Level 74

Same here. In desperation I tried "garotted" and got it.

Level 89

17/22! Not bad for someone for whom english is not their native tongue :) I should ve gotten parry and arrogant aswell. Would not have gotten gerrymander derrick and cirrus (though that one i have heard of, but could only remember cumulo nimbus (and just had to look up spelling, I wrote cumulus)).

Particularly proud of garrote :) and carrion ( I think the people around me would ve know those two the least)

Does garrison mean building for soldiers too?

Level 57

Yes I also had garrison - should be accepted?
