I started with Point and Break today. There are no repeat letters, so it’s not a bad punt – and well, it’s my tribute to one of the greatest films of all time.
But where did my gamble get me? I went to the red zone as I ran out of lines for LINEN and climbed on board the last train to Loserville.
As the rain thunders down on my laptop and the waves crash, there is only one thing left to say word-surfing Quordle friends…
Vaya con Dios.
