The same thing as the EDYKT and TDYKT. Guess the clues right off and I tell u if your wrong or not and you're allowed to continue.

Nah - i think it is better if all and sundry just jump in and give it go at guessing the clues.

And current subject here is LITERATURE.

Hi BB!

Perhaps ull find it easier to figure out the middle earth related clues.

And keep pondereing thos lit clues in the reg DYKT (TOO) as well.

And, if you're still wondering about procedure.

here goes...

I write clues - you think and ponder as to the meaning - post your guess - i tell you if your wrong or not - and tell u to try again if ur wrong.

And i bold-format every already answered clue but see to it that there always are a LOT of clues left for you other guys to guess at.

Does this clarify the game procedure?

Best,
Gw
