Nice review, Frannie, and nice puzzle,...7:55 (FWOE)<br />Nice review, Frannie, and nice puzzle, too. When I entered LEWD at 1A, I knew it was going to be good. Until I pronounced it correctly, I was thinking of CUSSED as the past tense of having said a swear word, so I was initially troubled there with a perceived non-agreement of clue and answer. And like Frannie, I never heard of the NYALA, which I am sure is a fine, regal creature, nor the cross ELLIE, but I, too, guessed correctly there. My error came at the KOMODODRAGON/KOLA cross, where I'd entered a "c." It took me about a minute to focus in there after not getting the "Congratulations" message that I was expecting, but I finally remembered the spelling of both the nut and the lizard. I'm happy to say that PISAN went right in for me off of the clue.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
