@SP I agree that it was eventually guessable from the crosses. However, it's worth pointing out that often when you're trying to guess an answer it helps a lot because you know it's going to be some sort of actual English phrase. This one worried me for awhile because I knew that sometimes Harry Potter spells are really just nonsense syllables made to look like latin, so there would be far more unusual combinations possible.

@Martina O'Boyle I, too, tried ROMA first because I am familiar with the spelling KEENAN, but actually it was ROME and KEENEN that finally completed the grid for my last unknown letter.

@Andrzej I was sure it would be EUCHRE which seemed to fit great at first, but led to trouble later on. After I eventually fixed it and finished I checked and EUCHRE only has 24 cards, but I didn't remember that precise detail.

@Marcus Yup, lost my streak after scouring the grid for mistakes and not finding this one.

@David Westrup Think the university, Georgia Tech

@Anthony Yes, it's very cool. Though if you look closely you'll notice that Saturn and Uranus are on the same orbit!

@George Three n's, in fact!
