Re: Metamorphosis

Hi barbie19022002,

"Juju" appears in many dictionaries, and the Collins Scrabble Checker (which is the main dictionary I use for games like this and has an online version found here) says it's a noun meaning a "West African magic charm or fetish".

Re: Metamorphosis

Hi Bobby,

Which part didn't you get? From AQUA to BLUE or from BLUE to JUJU?

I think the solution for both parts is fairly difficult to find, but I've got one for which all the words are in the online Collins Scrabble Checker.

That helps with the first part.

But what about blue->juju
