What word am I thinking of?

[Helen_Combe]

Only 1 is random, the other is whoever is on the top of the league.
C is sent to Coventry.

That's good to know because that will be a good way to beat the gremlins that make my links invalid.

So: L wants a look in now.

[Helen_Combe]

L is legitimate.

I believe that's a VERSATILE I see there.

I haven't received my BOTD email yet. I guess I will just have to win tomorrow. All the toys have been thrown.

Alice, the moderators check all the posts every day. Gali advised me to always check that your posts, especially on social media, appear publicly before you press the "YAY" button.

[Helen_Combe]

It is indeed versatile.

[Manang Muyang]

Yep! I also got the BOTD email. Did you? Now I'm excited to know when I will win.

Next word is eight letters!

[Alice Heritage]

It looks like you won! If the social media sharing is indeed checked daily (I thought it was), it's weird that my links were broken only on the day I won. Oh well.

Does this word have an A for anomaly?

[Manang Muyang]

Just your luck! What a waste of points! There was one time that my LinkedIn comment did not appear in the public folder. What I did was comment and like other posts and raise a racket with Admin. They didn't disqualify me. Maybe they were afraid I would hound them. Since then, I'd check before pressing YAY.

Alas, A is absent today.

[Anyanwu Stephens]

i guess R. Am I Right?

[Helen_Combe]

I’ll go for an S

In other news. Our government is stockpiling food in preparation for our glorious Brexit. Will you guys send me food parcels please?

[Manang Muyang]

My, my! Have you read Food Bank Britain? Would it be that bad?

S is busy stockpiling too but R is right here and working double time.

_ _ _ _ RR _ _

My, my! Have you read Food Bank Britain? Would it be that bad?

S is busy stockpiling too but R is right here and working double time.

_ _ _ _ RR _ _

Can I have a C please?

No, I haven’t read Food Bank Britain.

If we crash out of the EU with no deal, we will have to implement customs procedures on all EU lorries etc overnight. Currently they pretty much sail through. Our food will be stuck in the ports. I hope we manage to broker a deal.

[Manang Muyang]

I hope so too.

Guess what! I didn't win. My name was on the top of the list but Jaliper (fellow Pinay) beat me. Today, I will win. I have no more toys to throw, haha.

C is keeping S company.

[Helen_Combe]

How about a Nimble N?

I saw you, right at the very top but not winning. Cruel I thought

[Manang Muyang]

Yes, I'm crushed! Fitting that today's BOTD is about depression. Maybe they flip a coin in case of a tie. And I've been proven an unlucky one in games of chance.

N also needs cheering up. It's barred from this word.
