But he did tell us, Eeep--so he did! Thanks! Never in a million years would I have gotten that! I wonder if he got the idea from FF's oBviated thread? Oh--never mind, he couldn't have: that thread was started the same day that the first Word came out. Funny, though, that we had a thread relating to the theme and didn't know it!

Well, that third word should have been the tip-off. At one point I wondered if there was a board game named 'Plashy'. Was leaning toward having to do with water, as in the aphotic bottom of the ocean.
