I thought it was a word search and the two names were hidden somewhere in it and was like "a hundred years to solve this!? Wtf!?"
Hmm quite interesting 😊
What does "reading in a spiral fashion" mean?
Yeah I got a few words in and only the first bit was in a "spiral fashion". The rest of what I read was just kind of randomly placed
Yeah a basic spiral doesn't work.
I half expected the messages to be taunts from the husband saying how he killed them both or something 😬 at least it was just 90% numbers!! Still feels like it's not the best way to honor the dead than to make them a game
