Had I read the across clues straight through from the outset, the spelling of THEYREGRRREAT would've needed to wait on crosses for me, also. RYES definitely are tasty (the above should be their slogan, not that of a breakfast cereal). Also, as JEMELEHILL filled out for me with crosses, I had a feeling I'd made a mistake somewhere, but the congratulatory pencil arrived apace. We don't see enough FRUITHATs nowadays, do we? That's kind of an understated one in the photo up there.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-17888981067325526982020-06-02T17:10:26.748-04:002020-06-02T17:10:26.748-04:003:09 (FWOE)

So I was assuming one or more was probably wrong. Until I found the rare (only?) clue which could fit that situation.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
