I could have gotten the spangram first if I just searched for another 30 seconds.

This one was pretty easy. Could have gotten the Spangram quicker since I knew what it was after the first word, but could not find it until immediately after I found the second word. I was looking for a long time but finally said screw it.

Pardon my French!



Okay this one fucked me up good. I got beret and bureau. Couldn't find "loan words" despite knowing it had to be that, and resorted to looking up a list of French loan words to finish it out. And I still got lucky by just randomly doing Aperitif. Have never heard that one before >_>

That was the least common but I've heard it before. If I were an editor I would have had them change it into a different word. Still not THAT bad, there have been words I never heard of before but I knew that one. And the other ones today seem perfectly fine to me.

Liaisons isn't super common but I've heard it, most prominently in that movie Dangerous Liaisons with Glenn Close and John Malkovich.

Chauffer, chic, bureau, beret, all those are common words that I would expect anyone to know.

I thought it might be loan words or something, then I found liaison and knew it had to be it. And I was pleasantly surprised it was just loan words for the spangram instead some French term for it. The only obstacle from there was spelling chauffeur.

Yeah it wasn't too bad. French spelling can be a bitch sometimes, but none of these words were obscure or anything.

Took a while and a bunch of words that did nothing until I stumbled on the spanagram and it didn't really help, once I found leopard though the rest was quick.
