Four-leaf clovers have long been cherished as symbols of good fortune and rare beauty. These elusive plants are believed to occur only once in every 10,000 three-leaf clovers, making them a coveted find.

Did you know? According to Irish tradition, each leaf represents a different aspect of luck:
鈥 Faith
鈥 Hope
鈥 Love
鈥 Luck

Finding a four-leaf clover is said to bring the finder:
鈥 Good fortune

This botanical anomaly has inspired countless searches in meadows and fields, becoming a universal symbol of serendipity and the magic of nature's surprises.

I'm going to start with Fortune's Favorite: Complete the Spell-Out, plus 2 Sets and see if I can do more!

edit: Wait. I underestimated how many books that will be, lol. I may just try for the spell-out, but I don't think I can get that plus 2 sets. That would be 14 books, with very limited options for the spell-out if I'm understanding correctly.

Playing this by ear...
