The current concept was essentially &quot;small amounts&#8221;, but GEETHANKS is a bit of an exaggerated phrase that describes the topic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-gZyBSzhQoms98eziaKTmwd\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-gZyBSzhQoms98eziaKTmwd slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up to receive breaking news, reviews, opinions, high-tech deals and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Anyway, I needed a clue to get started today, but once I had PUNY it was pretty obvious what was going on and I set about finding these FEW, FEW words. The problem was that these types of puzzles are difficult: give me a thread that involves me thinking about words associated with basketball, birthday cakes, dogs, or doors and I&#8217;ll be fine; give me one that essentially requires the use of a thesaurus and I&#8217;m just not that interested.<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, NEGLIGIBLE is essentially a word that is almost impossible to detect when mixed together. So I cheated and used an anagram solver because, frankly, life is too short to spend it this way.
