Anyone having issues with this game loading on an iPhone? I canโt seem to reliably load the game without the bottom half of the keyboard missing (covered by ad).

::: spoiler In response to Samdell.
If you're referring to the clue "odd number that includes the opposite of odd", then the opposite of odd is "EVEN", and a number that contains the opposite of odd is "sEVEN". After I typed out the word I was worried about getting dinged for 4 keystrokes because I didn't type "7", but I was thankfully not penalized for that!

Ah, heck, that's a lot of thought, thanks for the explanation - although I can see someone mistaking another number in that place.

::: spoiler The question could have been worded better. Technically, and out of context of the puzzle, (spoiler follows)...

...it could be seventy. Or seventy-anything, for that matter.

::: spoiler I was thinking of 11, because that doesn't sound like an absurd number to me (and I was also just talking to someone that put that number as the answer) :P :::
