Okay. Butt and co. were pretty clever 🤣 That was a great one.

Edit: I just cannot get the “share results” copy/paste to work on here 🤦🏻‍♂️

What the hell did that even mean? Purple nearly ended it for me.

Homophones for conjunctions. So “butt” is but, as in “It was old but still sharp.” “Sew” is so, as in “It was still keen so I didn’t need to sharpen it”.

With some categories I try to figure out what the last one was.

With purple, why bother

I felt... compelled

The best way is to make sure each line ends with two spaces, but that you then only press "enter"/"return" once (so there is not a blank line in between).

Holy cow. It works! Thanks, stranger.

alternatively I like to use the three backticks, there is a note in the sidebar about it: ```

for example

I should have read the sidebar 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks!
