@Deusovi Is that legal (indirect discovery)?
 
7:36 AM
That's not a hidden word, that's just deletion of edge letters

Pretty sure an indirect hidden word would be unfair, though

One day, tired of the usual RPS game, Alice comes to Bob with a variation: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Anti-Rock. It works similarly to RPS, on the...
