Took every window screen out to clean them before winter. Now none of them fit anywhere

Eleven windows. Eleven screens. Pulled them all out this morning, hosed them down on the lawn, felt extremely responsible about it. Did not label a single one. They are all almost the same size. Not the same size. Almost. I have now spent longer trying screens in windows than I spent cleaning them, and there's one screen that fits nowhere, which means either I've lost my mind or it belongs to a different house.

the one that fits nowhere is from a window you haven't found yet. check the basement

there is a tiny window in the basement above the laundry sink. I forgot it existed. the screen fits perfectly. I hate this house and its secrets
