- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Dramamine, anyone? I had absolutely no idea what that meant when I started this game, and to be honest, I still don’t. Does it have anything to do with the Lonely Island song? I’m on a boat?
Luckily, the word SNACKS was hidden in my favorite starting spot in the top left corner, so I was off to a great start despite my disorientation, but it wasn’t until I found WAVES and DECK that I realized today’s quest was nautical.
The hardest word in this game was DIZZY, which zigzagged so much across the board that it actually made me feel a little dizzy. If dramamine is what I think it is, then yes, I need some.
