I didn't MALALA or CAPEMAN either, nor APPARAT, and even though I thought of the car kind of Jaguar at 14-Across (Jaguar's coat, e.g.), I convinced myself that it was a Saturday "double-mislead" and I "verified" my CAtPrINT answer with hErDETH at 3-Down (Shepherds, in the Bible). Oh woe is me. What a mess...<br /><br />Other than that, quite a nice puzzle.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-88267981075649184712018-11-04T10:57:40.103-05:002018-11-04T10:57:40.103-05:00FWOE is our shorthand for "Finished With One ...FWOE is our shorthand for "Finished With One Error."

All in all, a great puzzle. ~MLou PS - what is FWOE - surely not Five Ways Old Edwardians!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-48450963388703553282018-11-03T23:59:28.663-04:002018-11-03T23:59:28.663-04:00I FWOE'd.

I'm still shaking my head over last week's BP LUS: a KTWO moment if ever there was one. I didn't know MALALA, CAPEMAN, or RAPINOE, which slowed me down in the north west, but that was also the locus of my favorite clue: Shepherds, in the Bible: LEADETH.
