    Nice tutorial. Have not read the tutorial, but if you highlight the same word 5 or 6 times in a row…. You are a winner :). Sure it would be an easy fix though.

      Oh, wow. Can’t believe I didn’t spot that haha. I’ll look in to it, thanks.

      Edit: posted a suggested solution in the Premium post’s comments.

    Of course how many people would highlight the same word 5 times in a row? Haha.

    Hi I would like to know how I could go about increasing the grid, because I have been at it for quite a while with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
