- BUTTERFLIES
- SPANGRAM: GOOSEBUMPS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I am not very good at watching horror movies as I am so easily spooked. It’s led to a few embarrassing moments of me falling off chairs during jump scares — even the false jump scare that’s intended to lull you into a false sense of security has me on the verge of trauma.
Perhaps if I’d have read the GOOSEBUMPS series of books when I was a kid I would be better acclimatized to shocks and gore.
Anyway, I digress. That spangram really opened up today’s game and fortunately I spotted it early after getting CREEPS. The only word I struggled with was BUTTERFLIES, which doesn’t quite fit with the others.
