So, think you can outsmart a cephalopod? The premise is deceptively simple. Each day at 6am Squiggles, a sweet swaggering squid will taunt you with five secret 5 letter words (Squid Words) all shuffled up and scrambled so subtly and sophisticatedly that your skills as an astute expert of linguistic sophistry will be stretched to such savage extents as to leave you strictly stunned into silence by your own selective stupidity. To make sense of the serene series of scrambled letters left by this sly squid’s secret stumper you will need to draw on your own cerebral sensibilities. By guessing words formed solely from the assemblage of cells composed into a grid you will reveal those letters that share a place with one of the secret answers our scandalous Squiggles has selected. Any cells which share a place with one of the secret Squid Words will be expressed with a distinct, iridescent colour. By sorting through each secret answer you will soon find yourself with a smaller selection of cells with which to structure sensible guesses. But don’t stress. With a little patience, some perseverance and a small slither of serendipity success awaits you in SQUID WORDS!!!!
