Today's puzzle went much faster than yesterday's for this puzzler. I ended with a time of 18:44. The bottom half went right along at a brisk
TEMPE, but the train slowed a bit up at the top. The section I had the most trouble with there was the far right (ha!). I may be revealing my
SOCIALCLASS by admitting I didn't know the
SAKS logo was written in script. I will respect Horace's
MIRANDARIGHTS and not reveal that he, apparently, did know the logo and dropped that answer right in. :) Funny to me that even with the X of
SINTAX in place ("Price for vice") and my residential location being New England, I had to run the alphabet to get "Word after White or Red" (
SOX). Derp.
The QMC "Error message?" for OOPS was cute and "Grant in folklore studies?" THREEWISHES was clever. Two less challenging but fun QMCs were "Middle of France?" (CENTRE) and "Predict-able gift?" (ESP). In the non-QMC category, "It means a lot" (MUCHO) was good, but my favorite was "Attire one might grapple with" (SINGLET) - very nice.
Horace and I had a fun time discussing the shape of the puzzle, with ideas of what it looked like that ranged from an old telephone to a storm trooper helmet to a sad puppy face. :)

I had fun with this one -- definitely easier for me than yesterday's -- and I enjoyed the clues very much. 22.29
ReplyDeleteI finished in 19:30, which is fast for a Saturday. I just finished watching all of the "Mission: Impossible" shows and a SINGLET was often seen while team participants were chosen in a photo of Peter Lupus, who is now 90 years old. I'll go with the storm trooper helmet.
