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!

To start us off,

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.

So I thought I’d try and get back into this …

Well, things can’t get any worse from here can they?!   (Initially I was going to say ‘can only get better’ but realised they could stay the same.)

Bodyswap chase, Epideme because if I don’t know what it is it’s probably VII, Waiting for God garbage pod, maybe a table with a compass on it from Meltdown, oh it must be Thanks for the Memory grave scene

I think that indicates the luck virus has worn off.

[Flap Jack]

Yep, I failed today too. I got the correct series for the last 2 guesses, both the Petes. Kind of disappointing as I was getting tantalisingly close to my first ever post-Queeg 30 streak! One day…

Even worse! I’m actually glad I didn’t get yesterday’s now, because today would have been day 30, and that would have been especially annoying.

And I’m still not sure what I’m looking at even with the frame fully revealed.

I’m sure a similar frame came up not that long ago, which is the only reason I recognised it this time (after failing miserably last time).
