18 across the clue is MIA and the answer AWOL. They are so not the same thing. And very offensive to any family whose loved one is in fact MIA -missing in action. As opposed to AWOL absent without leave.
As far as I know, foie gras usually refers to goose liver of fattened geese. (The fattening is inhumane and illegal in many places.)
@Steven M. On the topic of best times a question - a few months ago the way the puzzles appear on my phone changed. I can no longer see my bests and averages for the day and I can only get the Wordplay link if I ask for Wordle on Google. If I hit play on the NYT app I get the puzzle without the stats or wordplay link. Any suggestions. Also on best times - alot of my best times are artifacts of days when I finished the puzzle the App lost my last few fills and when I recompleted came up with some unrealistically short time.
