Fun & good way to start the day
Nice language teaser!
'Sour' also works for 'sullen'.
FUN teaser. I first thought "pout" for sullen, but while it worked with pour, it didn't work with four. I like sour as an answer as well even though I didn't think of it.
Good one! Nice and tough without being impossible. I also had sour for sullen, which I think works, just like some of the peeps from 8 years ago. lol
