Or to be precise, solved all but 6 squares (well, more than 6 depending on how one counts).<br /><br />I guess the heart of my problem was fixating on Google MAil, trying to come up with another four letter Google product but not thinking of MAPS. But even with that, I'm not sure I would have gotten COMPAD[RE] and I certainly didn't know the cheese.<br /><br />On the plus side, I did like the theme. Figured it out early on BAKINGBREAD (incidentally my favorite of the themers). Took a bit longer to get the revealer, as I was working with some variation on REmove, which didn't quite fit the clue or the available space, but at some point I hit on RELOCATION.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-7744931832261090642020-04-25T10:43:22.330-04:002020-04-25T10:43:22.330-04:00Ahhh...I should have seen that!

I'm with Anonymous regarding INTHREED. I...21:02<br />I'm with Anonymous regarding INTHREED. I stared at that for awhile before entering my final square. The rest was fine, as I got the trick with the BAKINGBREAD entry. I knew the clue referred to "Breaking Bad" of course, but the crosses weren't lining up, so I decided to fill it in from crossing and came up with an actual phrase, saw what was done, and went from there. I haven't had any CUERVO in a dog's age, and have a bit of a yen for some now, chilled in a glass, 1800 or better will do. Decent enough Thursday, but a couple of odd answers. Nice that DELHI and EDEN are located under __LOCATIONS.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-28165670582984091152020-04-23T22:33:26.334-04:002020-04-23T22:33:26.334-04:00What the heck does "Inthreed" mean?
