I had SP___S___ and thought it would end with "side" or "seat". Wrong on both counts.<br /><br />Like Huygens I had several instances where the answer I thought of was a letter off: ester for ACETAL, timberlake for LANCEBASS, timemagazine for MADMAGAZINE. None of it would ADDUP. Thus the longer time today.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-54926469220788166382018-06-16T15:31:10.256-04:002018-06-16T15:31:10.256-04:0028:39 (FWOE)

I also ran out when I tried "Timberlake" where LANCEBASS goes (I got the __________SS crosses first, and that helped immeasurably. NEUROTIC is nice, and I like the BOBO/BOZO cross. I never heard of LALIGA, but the crosses were fine. I needed all of the crosses for KYLOREN, as that person is not familiar to me (Sue and I are only two films in with our "Star Wars" project). PHOENICIA is great, but yes, IONGUN is particularly bad.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
