Avocets/Beaucoup tripped me up a bit. One of those puzzles where you had to sit with it, come back to it, then it comes together. The best type of puzzling.
@Daryl huh? Where is the profanity?
I don’t know—- the dashes made sense to me. I originally had “Line” written in the 5 clues, but when it didn’t accept, I looked again at the title, the revealer clue, and most importantly, the down answers. The down answers only made sense with a dash. It’s not too much of a stretch to put a dash in there. It seemed like most folks eventually got there after some time. It’s almost as if this was like a puzzle that needed to be solved! I get why pushing people outside of there comfort zone is upsetting to some, but cmon, this is just for fun. Have a little challenge with thinking outside the box. Just my two cents…
Fastest Saturday I’ve ever done. Just me? I enjoyed the puzzle still.
I always enjoy a very clever theme on a Sunday. I find Sundays to be more of a Wed/Thu hybrid difficulty?
@Andrzej Well I’m glad to see you back, I hope you stay a while!
@B what happened to him? Why did he leave?
@Chris Same here! U was my last vowel guess
@Alan congrats on the streak! I’m currently at 43! I personally don’t look anything up, to keep the streak pure. Today was almost my downfall as I got stuck in the NE corner. I ended up putting it down and coming back the next morning. I always find that taking a break and coming back later allows your mind to “reset”, and gives a fresh perspective on the clues.
@Dave S Same! I went through my answers 20 times and didn’t know it was spelled this way until I read this. I thought there was a legit error with the app!
