Fun! 🙂 Unfortunately, I’ve never been good with English crossword puzzles / so, just 6 out of 10 (theoretically, I could have guessed 2 more had I spent more time not at 2 AM), but the longest two words are not even in my passive vocabulary. Still fun.

6 out of 10 isn’t bad! I tried to make it easier this time, but soon got stuck thinking of words to associate with rose… which is ironic given that there are hundreds of types of roses!
