This game was so tough that even using two hints didn’t speed me up that much.
My slow search was partially down to a mental blockage that occurs whenever I see the word math, but also because today’s words were well hidden – apart from the recurring I-O-N endings, of course.
I hope it wasn’t as taxing for you.
