I do not comment often, though I enjoy Wordplay and how much it improves my skills as a solver. I do construct, but only as vocabulary tests for my college biology students. :) To my mind, this was a perfect Wednesday. Chewy in places, but sprinkled with “gettables” in critical locations. The one that locked my solve was XEDOUT in the SE, because no way am I getting GSIX. Also loved the post Memorial Day hat tip ARMYVET, and the OCANADA reference with the Kings visit to that lovely country today.
Loved, loved, loved the cross with BIFLAG and GAYDAR. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN(s). Lovingly form the city by the Bay.
@Barry Ancona algae are not plants. They are protists. I am a biologist, and have been on tv, a little, but I don’t study algae or plants….
@Vaer yes. Echidnas are also monotremes. And adorable. And the source of the idea for the niffler in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!
@Lorel pandas are indeed true bears. Koalas are marsupials, and are thus not family Ursidae Bear down!
I tried hair f dog,which fir, but was so wrong! @beljason
@Lisa Marshall I agree. ANEGATIVE is rare ish in the USA, at 6%, but not as rare as B-or ABneg. Furthermore, A is the most common ABO type in Africa, meaning 50% of humans on the planet. So yeah A neg is not rare. This one always bugs me.
@rajeevfromca only in the USA. Worldwide, A Ned is not rare.
@Anonymous I have been going back through the archive. I do not agree. This one was just esoteric and harder than most from the early teens, which is where I am now. Crunchy, yes, but i needed lots of hints to finish. Osmic? Srsly? I am a biologist and have never, ever heard of that.
