Not my best, again hard to pin down the letters I did have.

Not too shabby, though for my third guess I used a modern "new" word. I should have stuck to regular English!

Took me a while to pin down the letters! They were elusive today. I'm not sure I particularly identify with the answer, which didn't help.

This picture, courtesy of our national broadcaster, somehow captures the essence of being Australian. Voting is mandatory for all adults, is always on a Saturday, and can be done on the way to the beach.

And case of worthy (but wrong) guesses that rapidly exhausted the possible letters.

Just finding guesses that haven't come up before was a challenge.

Not the best guesses today. I really shouldn't try double or even triple letters in a given word; can be a complete waste!

This round was characterised by some (wrong) guesses I was really proud of, while I kept missing the mark.

That was far harder than it should have been. I used a made up word as a guess in there, which turns out is real if really obscure.

Happy enough with that solve. Not a word I particularly relate too these days.

Hamas just gave Israel the justification needed to utterly crush any hope of Palestinian independence. That don't even have to pretend any more.

"PM says Israel at war after 150 killed in attack from Gaza"

What I really want is an AI that can talk to me in my ear, and hear my questions. We're pretty much there, which is awesome! I'm also envisaging a home AI (via Google Home and suchlike) that will get to "know" the family, that we can talk to.

They're not human, but still useful!

That proved elusive, though by the end I knew where the letters I had found had to be, and it solved itself.
