It does make the puzzle better, but I agree with you, it's still not great.<br />Peak took me forever. I had all but the P and the K last night, and I put it away and went to sleep thinking it over. In the morning, I still didn't have it, but sometime after coffee it came to me.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-58248586906030194022015-10-16T17:52:39.392-04:002015-10-16T17:52:39.392-04:0022:33

It's the only way I got PEAK, because I had _EA_, and K was my last letter in the pangram. I don't like this puzzle much at all. PROCEDUREMANUAL? Isn't that just two words put together? FAILINGSTUDENTS is silly.

MILEY is always nice to look at, and to hear...speak, anyway; she's got a nice, full voice. A few of the longer answers went in quickly: RAISINGTHEBAR, QUEENSOFENGLAND, __ENPRIMARIES, and ___LASTRESORT (the other letters of the latter two went in a bit later since I didn't get the Britney song very quickly, ROLLOVERANIRA is not what I would consider to be financial planning, and PROCEDUREMANUAL was slowly filled in with the crosses. Dad BOD is good. I thought the pangram to be impressive, but I have lower standards, probably, than Horace, not having started solving crossword puzzles until my early forties. A good Friday, right where I like my time to be.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
