    Is the CCC too difficult - not even a wild guess makes me think no one is reading it.

    In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

        Thanks for additional clue! I think the answer is 'respite' (highlight text with mouse to read the suggested answer). I admit that I used a list which sorts words by word length to help, but that would not have helped without the first two letters

                          I didn't find it too difficult. It took me about 10 minutes to solve it. But, I didn't start till about 40 minutes ago. It was solved, and usually is, a couple hours before I've even read it. Central Daylight Time is about 6 hours earlier than your time. If I'm awake at 3 am my time it's usually because the coyotes are howling outside my bedroom window. I'm not advocating for changing the "official" start time of the CCC. I am trying to solve them, it's just that I'm starting late so there's no reason to respond if I do solve it (unless I have a pithy comment). :-D
