Spenser

I rarely put in my own two cents but I felt compelled to comment how truly great this puzzle is. Nearly every nook and cranny was a challenge but the puzzle is still solvable. Best puzzle in years.

Not easy but I finished it (and when I do, it’s always without cheating). I knew something had to be wrong. Finally, I changed my answer for cooties to germs from girls, and it all fell into place.

I did it. Liked it. But I don’t understand spidey sense. Can someone explain?

LOL. For form instruction, I had “Initial hire”. I didn’t give it a second thought as it wasn’t the hardest part of the puzzle for me. And it seemed like the cross worked: prepare to swing, I had “tie up” Now I was never a swinger but I just assumed that for those swingers out there, tie up might be part of the protocol

For Sam, I think I will ONLY use lacuna for that crawl out of bed feeling thinking of butter and syrup covered pancakes as I head towards a bowl of All-Bran.
