I really struggled to see the words today – they were even invisible to me after having “cast”, “gate” and “braid” as non-gaming words. I needed a clue to figure out what the theme was – I took it literally as wearing casual clothes – and I still couldn’t move forward.
Between my two allusions, one thing I clearly saw was the THERIOTACT spangram – something you apparently read to someone after they have crossed a line and their behavior can no longer be tolerated. It reminded me of the time when my daughter constantly refused to go to sleep every night – yes, folks, she resisted rest.
Regardless, with three points down, I now had no more excuses and somehow made it to the end of the search. Not my best 21 minutes.
