    For the life of me, I cannot figure out 1 (impulsive) and 5 (delusional)! Any hints/answers? 😅

      Wait, I figured out 5 (delusional). Missed it initially bc I miscounted the letters 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Still stuck on 1 though!

    Grrrr. Some of these could be for multiple people!
    Also, it could be first name, last name, title, title and first or last name.
    Is there an answer key anywhere, in case we give up?

      Technically yes, I have a key. I’ll have to see how to share it. I want to give people a few days to play it before giving it away.

  1. Thanks! It’s so fun
