Although I took a hint to get going, I classify today’s quest as easy, as it was only laziness that caused me to take a shortcut.
Once I got my first IMAM game word through a hint, the other words were very easy to spot with no meandering or backward directions, making it a quick game.
The reason for the easy search was the ridiculously long spangram, which took up the center of the board and made any fun and games impossible.

- JUMPED
- CHAOTIC
- SHUFFLED
