uneven
- check your first e

[factor-fiction]

uneven is much, much better if the first E is wrong

[S21DanReb]

Many thanks to you all. Will check my first e in Roughly at odds. The clue I got the first e in was A month to work on sea-creature, and I put October, can't think of it being anything else, but could be wrong.

Hope you all have a Happy Christmas.
