FINESSE crossing SNAFU is nice, in a way. And we certainly don't see PASTEUR too often, especially on a Monday. As everyone knows, I'm a fan of the SOLARPANEL, owning 31 of them (the large ones, that is) at present. We own many smaller ones on various yard items.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-70963505337999508722018-06-26T09:50:49.950-04:002018-06-26T09:50:49.950-04:00This was quite a good puzzle.

I mean, we got OUZO (which was the topic of endless discussion in my teen years, as are so many bad cheap spirits from far away), ICEUP (off the beaten path and with a fun clue), SEAPLANE, and others.<br /><br />What is trite or just questionable? Well, OHM, GTOS for trite, FIFI for questionable (although maybe I give it a pass for not being overused), and ANON for both. As cruft goes, this isn't too bad.<br /><br />And we get things like ZOOS, UNAGI, and SOLARPANEL.<br /><br />My time? 9:23 which is typicalish for me except for the minute (or whatever it was) finding my typo on eNAGI (or iNAGI or whatever I had) and then correcting that and getting the success ding.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
