New bests and an alternate solution

I managed to get new best times on both Saturday and Sunday on Knotwords. 

On Saturday, I even found the word "pothers" which I didn't even know existed.

As it turned out, it was actually an alternate solution...and the original solution was actually simpler. See the difference in the screenshot below..."pothers" is not there!

I guess that means that I would have found the solution even if "pothers" had not been a word. But it might have taken me a while more, since I was on the wrong track!

And here's Sunday's puzzle:

I guess practice really does make perfect...the first few times I played, I couldn't imagine finishing any of the weekend puzzles under ten minutes. But now, I guess my brain has gotten quicker at figuring out the possibilities.

Well, at least I hope I don't jinx myself with that remark. :P
