I took a break of an hour or two after the 3rd attempt as I was struggling to think of a viable solution. Took me about a minute when I came back to it.

Pays dividends to let the subconscious mull it over sometimes.

Bit of a challenge today, and a tad over 5 minutes I think.

Get in. 1 minute.

I have a habit in a situation like that of seeing what I can create by putting the yellow letter first. Worked this time!

I was struggling a bit trying to come up with a 3rd attempt, so I left it for a while and went and had something to eat. When I came back, the answer came more easily. So about an hour all told.

Thought I was in trouble there! 4 or 5 minutes.

Spending less than £20 (including postage) on one of these to fettle my printer (Epson XP55):

Fairly easy to do, and I've had a kit from them before to replace the waste ink pads on an Epson XP-760 so I knew they worked.

The alternatives were a new printer (£120), or getting the waste ink pads replaced by Epson. Which at a guess, would cost more than a new printer.

As far as I am aware, there are no inkjet printer manufacturers who warn you that the printer has a waste tank that will fill up and need to be replaced - although, to be fair, that waste ink has to go somewhere!

Meh.

If I had gone with the starter that I used most days in Feb's competition, I would have got 3 greens on the starting word.

Ho hum.
