I didn't try anything amiss except for ahem instead of PSST at 1D, but quickly fixed it up with SUCKEDFACE, which I first heard in "On Golden Pond" many years ago.

All around great puzzle.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-40563934373273759202020-09-11T17:59:53.304-04:002020-09-11T17:59:53.304-04:008:15
