That's pretty impressive. That's where the title comes in, I guess.

HEME is fine by me. I also agree with Huygens. UTAUSTIN was super tough, but fortunately I got EMDASH and FAIRUSE, so the crosses made it.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-77046501229832720512017-09-18T14:17:01.424-04:002017-09-18T14:17:01.424-04:00DNF

I loved the theme, figuring it out pretty quickly. I even got SENECA off of RENAL. BEV[ERAGER]OOM is abysmally terrible.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-26151306824745115042017-09-17T22:23:26.649-04:002017-09-17T22:23:26.649-04:0016:04

The rest of it was a smooth affair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
