    Wow - I thought I was going to have to be guessing 13 letter words for a while. First one I tried worked! Fun puzzle, thanks Philip!
    • lisajay 🤓16:09 · 2023-10-15T00:54:54.653Z
      Good stuff!
      • Sendhil Revuluri 4:04 · 2023-10-16T22:41:09.898Z
        Thank you for the very explicit criteria for the meta in the themers!
        • DrTom 10s · 2023-12-07T18:58:07.845Z
          I knew everything I should be looking for, but the trial and error process was just too long so I looked at the last nudge. I could not find anything that could help me with the 13 letter word and it wasn't in any of the 13 letter word lists I managed to find. Only when I went back in knowing that it had to be SE did I find it in a list. Ah well
          • Philip Chow constructor · 2023-12-07T20:40:46.091Z
            thank you for solving! i apologize yes that was the absolute toughest part of the meta (guessing a random word that fits the criteria)... a lot of anagram solvers i found online don't have the option for repeated letters, but if you google around using the key phrase "repeated letter," you can find some - for example: https://www.litscape.com/word_tools/words_made_from.php... plugging in LENS worked :)
            • DrTom 10s · 2023-12-08T14:47:26.298Z
              Wow, that is a handy tool! It found senselessness immediately. Wish I had known about it earlier because that would have taken this from a 3.5 to a 1 given all of your "bread crumbs". Thanks Phil, I have bookmarked that little gem
