Despite a really good start I ended up with a Christmas Day flop – although it could have gone both ways with CRIER and DRIER both options for my final go.

I’m also pondering over whether I did the right thing in leaving a word that’s almost there in order to give yourself a chance with the rest. If I’m honest I think I was hoping for a little bit of festive luck and it failed to arrive. Well, Merry Christmas everyone anyway!
