This game was all about how many different words you could think of that are OUTOFORDER, although I have to admit I was pretty confused myself at first.
After getting SCRAMBLED at first, I thought the kind of “everything jumbled together” we were looking for was related to cooking, but I quickly changed my mind after putting the letters JUMBLED and CHAOTIC together.
Then, after being SHUFFLED, I managed to see the spanframe. All in all, I’m surprised I didn’t use a tip.
