Interestingly, today I did not select a single word that was not one of the theme words. (Usually I get many, many non-theme words.)

Anyone else noticed no one gets anything but a perfect score anymore...? DW and I still do it daily, but I am not sure why...

Perfect? You mean, no one asks for hints? I only asked for a hint the first time I played it, as I wasn't able to figure out what I was trying to do. Since then, I eschew the use of hints, even it it takes me a dang long time to complete the puzzle.
