In response to Samdell.
If you’re referring to the clue “odd number that includes the opposite of odd”, then the opposite of odd is “EVEN”, and a number that contains the opposite of odd is “sEVEN”. After I typed out the word I was worried about getting dinged for 4 keystrokes because I didn’t type “7”, but I was thankfully not penalized for that!
Ah, heck, that’s a lot of thought, thanks for the explanation - although I can see someone mistaking another number in that place.
The question could have been worded better. Technically, and out of context of the puzzle, (spoiler follows)...
…it could be seventy. Or seventy-anything, for that matter.

I was thinking of 11, because that doesn’t sound like an absurd number to me (and I was also just talking to someone that put that number as the answer) :P
Anyone having issues with this game loading on an iPhone? I can’t seem to reliably load the game without the bottom half of the keyboard missing (covered by ad).
