WICKETTRAMPING
OA.
7/9.
36/40.
OA as well.
8/9, 35/40
OA here too, but it took far far too long, as CER and AIT were fiendish and CARPETMAKING wasn’t a word (WHAT?) and making the ING word first was getting in my way.
Had quite a few moments where I thought of giving up, but kept on. Finally, done.
OA as well after a prolonged struggle. Put down 146 words before finally solving it. Happy to finally be done with it. 38/40, 9/9, 12, 16.
