Tap for spoiler"Sacrum" as a "word starting with 'say' sound" is bullshit! At least in my dialect of English, it's pronounced "sak-rum", damn it!

    ::: spoiler Maybe it's just us here, but we also pronounce SΓ©ance as it would sound in French.

    I never heard it pronounced as Say-ance. :::

    The French Γ© is very close to the vowel sound in "say" in English.

    My point it is an "Γ©", not "ay", though my french pronunciation is a mixture of Creole and poorly remembered high school French, so who's to sΓ©.

    Anyhow I always feel that there's one combination in this game that is the least plausible of them all.

    It's my understanding that this is called a "rainbow herring."

    herringWas it the words relating to contacting ghosts? I only didn't have spirit in mine because I figured out they'd need that one for the yellow category first. I thought the rest could still work because I couldn't remember what a sacrum was and thought it was the planchette (just looked it up now) used with the ouija board
