Great puzzle! Is there a way to give up and see all the answers? After 20 minutes or so still have 8 words to find. (Not a native English speaker.)

+1 for this. Also not a native speaker and can't for the life of find the two last words in the #5

Damn it, it was the longest word I've already found in plural form :/ Not sure this is good puzzle design to be honest

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think finding plural should automatically find the root word as well?

I would try to generate puzzles that don't involve plurals at all.

It happened twice that the word I missed was the plural of a word I already found. After finding a word I don't follow it again so finding the plural happened by accident twice, and it felt cheap.
