    This game is just if you are familiar with the phrases or not today I got 100, yesterday I got zero.

    I have a problem with this one!

    I’ve been trying for perfect scores by making sure my answers to the clues make sense in context, but when you get to the clue [something golfers’ apparently [scold, with “at”]], both “shout” and “yell” work for the clue in the nested brackets (something golfers apparently shout is “fore”). I, of course, picked the wrong one, ruining my perfect score.

    Also, while I’m on a rant, it should be “golfers” without the apostrophe, and why say “apparently”? It’s something they do yell. Something golfers apparently yell would be “four”, wouldn’t it?

      It feels good that someone else caught that too. And yeah, that’s the worst when even looking at the surrounding brackets does not help you disambiguate between two possible answers. I was just lucky that “yell” is something I personally use and see more often than “shout”.

      Also, I don’t play in Hard Mode specifically because I might make typos and don’t want to be penalized for making a typo and hitting backspace and fixing it before I submit. Does Hard Mode actually count each individual keystroke and so I’d get penalized for mistyping, recognizing it, and fixing before submitting?
