If there’s an appetite for it, Roman will set a weekly Romanesque brainteaser every Sunday from now on. The free web version of our hexy/lexy word game isn’t as smart or substantial as the full Monty, but is more convenient. Click here, and assuming you’re using a PC or tablet (thus far I’ve been unable to get it to work with phones) you should be playing within seconds.
Identical for everyone, the weekly puzzle comes with a theme clue in the top-left corner. Buying random answers or random first letters with your fund of 25 Reveal Points is a good way to overcome early mystification, but will damage your score. To achieve a perfect ‘100’ score and win a Golden Helmet you’ll not only have to forgo Reveals, you’ll need to find answers without blundering.
