FAQ
What kinds of guesses can be confused with OXIDE?
Look-alike words usually share endings, repeated letters, or the same general clue shape.
Are the look-alike words official past answers?
Not necessarily. They are included because they are plausible misreads or comparison candidates, not because they all appeared as answers.
Does the record still answer the date query directly?
Yes. It still states that OXIDE was used on April 21, 2022; the extra sections just explain the wrong turns around it.
