Good morning everyone.

It's bright and sunny and very windy this morning. I've finally had to put the air conditioning on as the house heated up drastically yesterday.

It's a Pilates morning and then some errands in town in the afternoon.

Thanks for this!

Fill in the empty squares in each grid below to complete four 5-letter words reading across. The four words in each grid must contain only 10 different letters, each one used exactly twice. Each grid has its own set of 10 letters.

Now I can win the high jump competition with my leopard feet

Competition is good for improvements and progress!

Thanks, Orion. I'll have a look.

Thanks Ana!

Try ignoring the ASD keys KatieB. The W and the mouse should be enough in these sorts of games

We're going to need some whiskey for dipping.

Another little gem, soot!

This happens quite often with me too Judith and LadyK ... which is why I "so enjoy" books I read decades ago.

"Project Hail Mary" ... yes the book was great Lex and can't wait to see the magic of the story in the movie

Thanks, Marian!

Well, I'm already 13.5 hours in and am still in Chapter 4, so I am already past flotsam's estimate of 8 to 10 hours of play time. I have to disagree with not needing pen and paper. I have about 5 pages of written notes because I need to organize them into one area rather than go back and forth in the journal (for some of the puzzles). I still ended up needing to look at the hints for Chapter 3 and eventually the answer. I was close but too tired of the puzzle to keep going with it. Not sure if I'll make it through Chapter 4 on my own yet. I still need to make a few more attempts. I also disagree that the circle cursor works well. It is increasingly getting more fiddly and hard to get it to where I want it.

This game is okay but I preferred Call of the Sea. Has anybody else played it? Mikael? Orion?

flotsam, not trying to disagree with you and your review. Just pointing out a little different experience for me.
