This not healthy for the puzzle solving community. Maybe someone was drinking and decided to think "Hey, why not just make a puzzle with nine rooks? That'll work!" and BOOM, this puzzle was born.

We've been rooked!!

Now for those of you whose mother tongue is not English (and perhaps for many whose it is), to be rooked means to be cheated or swindled, especially in a game.

Ok, if it has to be explained, I guess it isn't that funny, but it's the first thing that came to mind. (I'm showing my age?)

I mean if you put 5 checkmate symbols in a row then nobody can truly guess the word. That means you're not cursing.
