As a matter of fact, I really didn't bother to check this one, but thanks for letting me know.<br /><br />My error-free time was 3:46. I'm guessing it took Philbo more than six seconds to make the corrections, but as he knows, a clean puzzle is worth a lot more than six seconds. :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-41027136203019763642021-05-17T16:14:58.349-04:002021-05-17T16:14:58.349-04:00Whenever I see a few infrequently-used letters, I ...Whenever I see a few infrequently-used letters, I check to see whether the puzzle is a pangram. I'm unsure why it wouldn't matter. Why does anything matter? As Horace no doubt knows, it TURNS out that it is a pangram, which I like for some reason, so there. Unlike Philbo's excellent time, my own was a more normal 5:43. Nice little trick, I suppose, and certainly a nice Monday.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-62771187223363262452021-05-17T09:06:32.658-04:002021-05-17T09:06:32.658-04:00A gentle introduction to the week.

I confess I am fully motivated and challenged by Colum's sub-3-minute exploit of last week, and I would have come close, had I not entered 'TAKE' instead of 'AKIN' for 'Like, with "to"' (c,mon, it makes sense too :) ) which cost me dearly to unravel and led to a 3:52 solve time.<br /><br />Wishing y'all a fine week!Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.com
