Dace?  For Dace I miss a rosette in challenge?

I think I'm supposed to use words here like outrageous, beyond belief, abysmal categorising etc.

But unfortunately, I'm still so new I'm grateful for the puzzles.

Still, i'd have to admit that despite days wasted fishing, I've never baited a hook for dace.

If only you had joined the forum in January, 2T! On February 2, under the topic Words to Become Rare, Alan had this to say:

As for dace, that's a word that slipped under my guard, but judging by comments in the other thread, it probably should go to rare as well.

It's as RM says, 2T. Dace and a number of other fish words are due to be reclassified from sashimi-grade to marinara sauce mix.

When I make changes to the words, I generally do them in batches, sometimes weeks, or even months, after I've agreed to a suggestion. Sometimes I forget to do it altogether - it's all part of my scheme to keep you lot on your toes.
