I can't remember exactly. I did it as a project after the AP, so it was a little lax with rules. I may have had a couple of kids work on pawns, but the idea was always to print 8 (16, actually) the same.

This is awesome. I did this a few years ago with a BC Calc class. The solution for the top of the rook (and queen, I think) was challenging and interesting. The knight was just weird looking.

We seem to cut it some slack when we allow it to integrate across a removable discontinuity. Can’t we show the same grace here??

So I’ve been just using the first word that comes to mind every morning. It was strange at first but now I think the game is much more fun. That’s my recommendation.

Kinda teed that one up for me you did.
When mine finally came up in one, I was afraid of settling on a new first word that had already been used. I thought about doing some research to pick an unused word, but that seemed like no fun.

I can see why you chose that word. It really is ideal.

This happened to me a couple of months ago. Exciting moment, but then the next few days were chaos. Now I embrace the just pick a random word every day strategy. Please advise how you choose to go.

I’d for sure hang but alas the dates are a conflict with school so I won’t be there. Good luck at trivia (which I assume will be part of your week)!
