Scared now.

Liam, was your "scared now" a comment on the perceived difficulty or the answer?

I needed a hint. Jana helped a lot with this one.

Once I got going that was quite easy, but I'd never have got purple except by a process of elimination.

That pooch was either very nearly unhappy, or happy, depending on how you look at it.

Really hard. But I did it with no hints. Once I got the spangram the rest was easy, though.

Baffled by this one. I can't see a theme. I got "fountain" first and sat here looking mystified. Still am.

That was quite a quick one. My usual tactic of just trying to find as many words as possible worked quite well when I got to WHEEL.

Yesterday it failed totally when I got FOUNTAIN.

Given how little I know about the subject matter, that one was quite easy.

I mean really I mainly know Canadian sexual positions.
