Jude, I'm working on waffle (not done-still trying to work out the words) but I can tell it's going to be a tricksy one.
*eta: Finished. Appreciated the heads-up Jude.

Voronwë (and Beth) sounds like it's going to be a tricksy game day.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

The scholardle today was a word for something I've known about but didn't know there was a specific word for it:

Hidden text.
"nocebo-
a detrimental effect on health produced by psychological or psychosomatic factors such as negative expectations of treatment or prognosis."

It's the precise opposite of placebo.
So, of course I didn't get the puzzle- but I did learn a new word.
