Did anyone else have FINGER for “you might hear a hiss when it’s pulled”?
These two answers in exact opposite corners were also responses on today’s episode of Jeopardy. What are EDGAR and INSPO?
I kept telling myself “there’s no way NOODGE is a word.” Learn something new every day… A mix between too hard and too easy with no nougat-y center. Very uneven,
@Hugh We’re all very impressed…
I enjoy a challenging puzzle, but this one just did not jive with me. Upon sussing out some of the trickier clues, I found myself groaning more often than not. PRTEAMS resulted in an exceptionally guttural tone. Alas.
@upperwestsider the highlighted boxes are words that connect the two separate words indicated in the clue into an unrelated phrase. Also = TOO and Frozen water = ICE. Combine them with a KNOT and get TOOK NOTICE
I prefer when a rebus or trick can be figured out before even reading the themed clue as it was with this puzzle. It feels more like an Easter egg than a tortuous riddle.
Not my favorite, but an overall enjoyable solve. Crossing TETROMINO and SOO was a bit dastardly…
@Jane Wheelaghan there are few things more enjoyable on a blazing summer’s day than an ice cold Arnold Palmer.
@Collie I got it, but I really did not enjoy this puzzle at all. If I weren’t so vain about my streak, I would have called it quits much sooner.
@GRS I’d never heard of LASHUP, but at least it’s a word (unlike “number” as in “something that numbs”).
@Dale M thank you for noticing. The joke seems to have flown over the heads of others.
@Terri I know what the Edgars are. I was phrasing my response in the form of a question (as you would on Jeopardy!).
