### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-07-26, version 2.0.3*

I like to do this daily game.   A simple word game.
However, since others are allowed to create a puzzle I find that several words are spelled incorrectly.

### 1/5 — “Unscramble” continues not to be a Clue

*2025-07-22*

If I want to unjumble letters, I do the clever puns in Jumble. And with 8 Popular Sports no proofreading to verify the correct number of letters were included.
