A Rosetta by any other name

Happy Thursday! The secret throughline to yesterday's Tightrope questions, as many of you accurately triangulated, was the discovery of the Rosetta Stone on July 19, 1799. Shoutout to three of our fastest repliers: Shirley Marriott in Lecanto, FL; Bob Matson in East Lansing, MI; and Deb in Deerfield Beach, FL. Our games content is primarily in English, but we'd love to know what other languages our players speak. If you know a second language (or third, or fourth, etc.) please reply to this email and let us know!
