Will likely never see that kind of success ever again!

I just wish that there were a way to describe your success.

I focused on the “,______ the, ___, ____, ____.,” in the second paragraph, and the the, in particular. I thought it was possible the the with the comma after it indicated a missing image or something like that, but thought probably not and I should definitely check it out. So I thought it might be an article on articles, but that surprised me with no hits at all. I filled in the fairly obvious “etc”, then wasted a guess on “such”. Then I figured an article would be before a noun and that got a lot of hits and showed I was close. Then I noticed it had to start with a vowel. I foolishly chose adverb before adjective.

I really had nothing today. Just small hits here and there. There are some bits about orchestras that went out of business and I got the ‘business’ part which was totally not helpful. I got ‘play’ at 46 and was thinking acting/movies, didn’t try music. Finally saw _S ____ and started going through the alphabet. JS ____ got me Bach, music, orchestra. Rough day.

Music is one of my common early words, fortunately, along with science, language, word, etc.

Sadly, it’s not often at the top of my mind. I normally might use it earlier, were it not for some hits I got today on business stuff.

I got television broadcasting and radio broadcasting very early and that sent me down some wrong paths. Only my last five guesses were really relevant.

I thought about going after initials, but really didn’t feel like going through 26 tries. If I fill in initials, it’s almost always only i.e. and e.g. How was it that you had the s? Or did they give the s and I just missed it?

I had S from U.S.

I’m way too distracted to be playing today. I seriously had like half of the article filled out and couldn’t come up with the damn word.

I just hit 257, by coincidence just surpassing you, and I’m not done yet. I’ve had the whole first paragraph done except for the key words for a loooong time already and much of the article is filled in now, even though I’m pretty sure none of it past the first paragraph will help at all.

I’ll just say I went with “cosmos” pretty early on given what I had uncovered, given it was 6 letters long, it’s about the world, yadda yadda.

“What the hell is a synonym for cosmos?” I thought…

Given there is a very prominent science journal with this name…the moment I thought of the word, I realized this was the answer. I had Stu helping me. We were both thinking too complicated. And then I said – “Hey Stu – Watch” … and yup, it was the word.

Yeah, I had my hopes up for cosmos, too.
