Sure, that’s why it’s last in the series. I thought it was a fun one, but yes, very hard to guess.

Glad you enjoyed them.

Could you add the full words as accepted options for all? I tried typing them for Recurrence and Shutting and they didn't work.

Sorry, there was a typo on Recurrence. Shutting should have worked though. Thanks for letting me know, fixed now.
