Clue of the Day
FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. You can hint at it if you want and it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

1 correct answer. These FJ!’s have been difficult for the more recent contestants.
I’m still in shock over yesterday’s stumper! I’ll say ONE right today.
I saw this work in person for the second time last month, although that didn’t help me solve the clue. The correct response just came to mind just with the time frame in the category and “greater things” in the clue. I’ll say 2/3.
