🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 USUAL -- I was happy to get a 4 at this point. The last two turns took quite a bit of time.
Note it was an all yellow day, not counting the last turn, of course.

A little off topic but I hate when I run into a word that I am not familiar with and have to look up the definition only to realize I still have no idea what it is.
Today's word: Valorem
Definition: first-person plural present subjunctive form of valorar
At this point I refuse to go down that rabbit hole and just accept that I am stupid.

It’s a Latin form for “value.” These days I only really see it in the phrase “ad valorem” taxes, which are taxes calculated based on the value of something. Like property taxes as a percent of property value.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

DRich,
Many years ago I was in grad school with a large number of foreign students. One of them had a dictionary that defined every entry in terms of a 2000-word subset of common English words. If you knew what each of those 2000 words meant, you could understand any definition in the whole dictionary.
I see that Longman, which may have been that student's book, uses such an approach:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longman_Dictionary_of_Contemporary_English
Hope this helps!

avianrandy,
Look on the bright side: the elusive letter could also have been an L or an N. Of the five possibilities, you needed three guesses, which seems like par (4) for the course ;-)
