    Very lovely! You did well coming in 5th. Especially since that DC, it looks like had the highest number of entrants so far. It's the first time I've noticed the DC going over 50. So give yourself a pat on the back for your lovely portrait.

    Don't mind comment overkill 😀 --- I guess there should be fun and enjoyment in all the challenge participation. Personally I stopped the one-word challenges, just too random for me. But I do enjoy MeMay's three-word challenges and (of course) @paulie twenty-word challenges

    It's interesting. I commented but I'm going to go leave another comment because I just realized that why I like it now even tho I rarely enter is I can find new people to give them a like to encourage them.

    Thanks very much. I didn't actually know, didn't check the result. I actually only entered before voting to sense-check voting before I wrote my Blog on the daily challenge. If you have time, take a look. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/to-play-or-not-to-play

    Ok. I accidentally deleted one reply. I had 2. One was about joining one-word prmpt challenges for fun but I accidentally deleted that one. So only one comment remains. That's better anyways. 2 comments is overkill

    Before I started doing the 1word/3word/tautogram challenges, I felt like my vocab was slowly dwindling. The funny thngs is that as I find new words to use, words are starting to randomly pop into my brain that I hadn't used or seen in a long time. I found out the words aren't forgotten but needed to be retriggered. Somehow using new words triggers old words too. So I've already won whether I win or lose the challenge. Winning is immaterial to me. I try to score high on people using uncommon words so I get more of them. Brain exercise is one of the things they recommend to stave off forgetfulness and Alzheimer's.
