...There are only so many four-letter words that end in -oom in the english language. Process of elimination should spit out the answer fairly quickly.

Obviously, yeah! :P

The "ladies" was kind of a bad choice, but in my defense I genuinely thought that there were only 5 different english words overall, so I had to make do with 4 of them when I wrote it down. I've since learned that "toom" is apparently a thing, so +1 education I guess.

I'm working on some questions but it'll take me a while, entirely new to this but I'm loving it. Anybody have something queued up?

I have about 30 in stock, but I thought I'd let others take over for a while to avoid bringing the thread to a standstill again.

Esc is killing it! Relieved someone got this one.

I've been cooking up a few but I'll wait until I have 10. I say go for it Ksub if you have a new batch!

...I get "Thief", I get "ascends", but the rest...? Can someone explain it? I feel dumb. :(

Correct! Shocked anyone got it, thought that one was a bit of a stretch.

I was stumped too and didn’t get the four part hence the sly raccoon and uncharted guesses. The actual answer was far more insightful.

I think the Simonsloth tier should be the Esc tier if I’m honest. I cherry picked the easier ones I knew but Esc got the ones no-one knew!
