@Matt I do crosswords not only for what I know, but also for what I will discover. So it's all good by me.

@Patrick I wish us commenters would check the dictionary before making such strong proclamations. All we know know is not all to know.

@Cindy As to that idea: 👎🏼 Now perhaps you’re wondering why.

@Times Rita Oh how I appreciate Lewis from Asheville when there are comments like these. Also, the most recommended comment today from Hope Levav is a heart warmer. I hope the dopamine rush writing these negative comments balances out your boredom and disappointment. On the flip side, its worked for me.

@Cat In this case "bad" is a compliment!

@Francis It took me several as well.

@Vaer You were not kidding! My cringe muscles are burning. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsntlJZ9h1U" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsntlJZ9h1U</a>

@Mitchell I love these puzzles not for what I know, but rather but for what I learn.

@Michael Weiland Not always. There’s a rare genus called Parnassian, that pupates in a cocoon. These butterflies live in the Pacific Northwest, in Siberia, and as far away as North Korea and the northern islands of Japan.

@Barry Ancona For me, it's my impatience or my dog.

@Elizabeth Connors I had the L and the O. but FLOOR didn't fit.

@Jerry I read and enjoy comments and lively repartee from many of the regulars (Lewis from Asheville, Mean Old Lady, Dutchiris, Steve L., Munster Mike, Al in Pittsburgh,Rich in Atlanta, Andrzej from Warsaw and, uh where's Barry been?) Maybe I read them through rose-colored glasses, and don't focus on the "only a handful" of whining comments. Yet with your comment there's now a bit more than a handful.
