Took a while to figure out the theme and even then there were quite a few patches that I had to work at.<br /><br />In particular, BIOTAS, LITOUT, HOPUP, and OTTOI gave a bit of a challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-45332037071231188502017-10-02T07:50:44.021-04:002017-10-02T07:50:44.021-04:00I tried a G, and then a V, before finally guessing...I tried a G, and then a V, before finally guessing L.

LETSNOT looks funny. How about how AMALIE and ADELIE are symmetrical?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-46891502281807708982017-10-01T22:02:35.272-04:002017-10-01T22:02:35.272-04:00And I put a G there, thinking of Bob Iger of Disne...And I put a G there, thinking of Bob Iger of Disneyland, rather than Robert ILER of The Sopranos.
