6-letter X-words
I just finished my most recent quiz of the 6-letter X words. These are the ones that I got wrong twice in two passes through the lot. Included are some very common words that I have played before, but seem to elude me when prompted with Zyzzyva. Hopefully you do better than I do). 312 right out of 336 is 92.5% correct. I'll take that.
