Round 6: 2 large can be meddling, but if you divide the target by 2 it becomes easier
236 / 2 = 118
So
(75 + 50 - 7) * 2 = 236

I thought it was a bit weird they didn't explain SUMMERED and everyone acted like it was just a normal word.

Only 8% obscurity according to Apterous.

Yeah that's BS though. When I looked it up I was like "Oh yeah, birds summer in places" but seeing it in isolation I was ??? and I wasn't the only one in my household.

"Wintered" is probably more commonly used, and summered is (I would presume) the direct opposite. Nothing was edited out for that one IIRC, it was treated as needing no explanation.

Thanks for the info. Having Googled it, most of the top matches are dictionary entries and a couple of sites discussing the word. None of it being used as a word.

For comparison, POTHOLE has an obscurity of 69% and is considered rare. 8% corresponds to ubiquitous. I don't know how Apterous calculates these numbers but they're way off.

Yeah that's what I thought. You can have SPRINGED, SUMMERED, WINTERED but don't think you can have autumned???

If Apterous thinks "pothole" is rare, then it clearly isn't a car driver.
