@Alex Barry I was absolutely stunned that the answer was "AWOL." One is a probable tragedy, the other deliberate crime. I do the puzzles with my husband and actually refused to type in "AWOL" for a bit, even when it became obvious that was the answer, because I really couldn't believe anyone would call them synonyms. Kept telling him we must be mistaken.

@Eric Houglandthank you Eric! I was so confused.

@Edwardi felt exactly the same. And I'd argue that http isn't really _usually_ followed by an "S"? Sometimes, sure. Even often. But it depends on the site.

@G. Kittle OMG! Why is nobody talking about this??

@sbs I had the same quibble; I never thought the word was supposed to mean "really good," (the "super" at the beginning notwithstanding) and so I was thrown off for ages -- the only possibilities for _ON_ I could think of were "song" and then, surely-not-but-I-am-desperate, "long."

@john ezra I immediately thought of Konigsburg too! Many of her books count among my favorites.
