Smugle or Strugle? – Dispatches From Smegle

[Flap Jack]

Howdy doodly do, folks! As we’ve now had 2 weeks of the Difficult Daily, I thought it might be prudent to move discussions of the day’s puzzle and our scores to a dedicated thread, so we’re not just bloating the comments of the “Reintroducing Smegle” post all the time. Let that be for more general feedback (or bug reports).

And of course, if you get any share-worthy frames in Casual Continuous, feel free to post those here too!

5/6

Somewhat tricky, but once I’d got the right series I felt confident I could narrow it down enough not to fail.

Also, what do you think: should this thread be spoiler-free, or not? I’m leaning towards not – because I generally prefer to do the Difficult Daily myself before hearing about others’ scores anyway, and it would be cool to speak openly without having to wait until the next day – but only if there’s consensus on it.

I recognised Baxter’s hooch on the table, just one of many things in VIII I have trouble remembering what episode they’re in because it’s all such a load of bollocks.

Which is what immediately sprang to my mind, and yet I dismissed it, thinking it was probably something else.
