Got my 'guesses' in a bit earlier than normal for me... PM sent Mi-Amigo.

I agree with RafaC, I like to see the return of this A-Z WRQ, thats not to say I'll do well, I just find it fun. 😅 I saw TallTrees said it wasn't a bad WRQ for them... But for me it was difficult although I find them all quite hard if I'm honest! 😬

[J9el]

Great questions @Mi-Amigo! PM sent with guesses!
