I agree that GASTAP is a weak start. The last time I thought of that phrase was when trying to start a flooded car, but I haven't done that in decades.<br /><br />Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-6580748434062566282018-03-11T19:15:48.101-04:002018-03-11T19:15:48.101-04:0032:30

Very fun puzzle to figure out. How about ORIONBEAN just a couple of rows above HUNTERS?<br /><br />Also, BOLERO.
