And Mr. Kingdon, I use Across Lite to solve, which doesn't show notes, so I didn't see that.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-59010313711492689242019-04-01T17:35:08.204-04:002019-04-01T17:35:08.204-04:00There's even a note to that effect (at least i...There's even a note to that effect (at least if your software shows notes). Which I thought was perhaps a bit too explicit, but then again I only read the note after I'd more or less figured out the theme.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-59633618049571641612019-04-01T07:20:21.961-04:002019-04-01T07:20:21.961-04:00Oh, and happy birthday, Horace!Oh, and happy birthday, Horace!Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-50004764364433427322019-04-01T07:19:54.175-04:002019-04-01T07:19:54.175-04:00Huygens - if you take the extra letters from top t...Huygens - if you take the extra letters from top to bottom, they spell out SACRIFICE. Which is kind of clever because you need to sacrifice those letters to make the teams work.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-88761757697171460352019-03-31T18:07:53.177-04:002019-03-31T18:07:53.177-04:0034:07

I'm not sure I follow some of the circles, though. I mean, GRAYSCALE has circles around the RAYSC, but aren't the Rays the team? So why the "C" circled at the end? Same with FREDSAVAGE, where FREDS is circled. Anyway, there is some junk in there, but all-in-all it's not too terrible, and my time fell right in my nice Sunday zone.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-57159775953376625652019-03-31T11:11:50.107-04:002019-03-31T11:11:50.107-04:00Oh, it wasn't that bad.

Furthermore, you have to admire that each team name, hidden in the theme answers, are fully in order (with an extra letter) rather than needing to be anagrammed. SCRUBSUITS, though is just silly.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
