This is a fun teaser that takes quite a bit of focus. It is pretty hard. I got "brutal" instead of "radical", but I was not comfortable with that response. It was interesting to try certain words and see if they could fit with other clues. Sometimes I started with the first word, sometimes the last, and pyromaniac started me in the middle. Challenging and interesting!
Thanks for your feedback, Snowdog. Glad you liked it!
