First time ever (I think) that I actually got the trick and revealer without having to read Deb’s comments. So I loved it! Thanks.

I don’t usually comment, but as an old puzzler (in all senses) i loved this because it felt related to language at its best. Many puzzles seem to be more geared to pop culture. Nothing wrong with that, but I loved this one. Thanks…(wild turkeys often eat my plants, but I’m in california.)

I thoroughly enjoyed the solving puzzle, some clues made me laugh, and even more, I enjoyed reading Deb’s article, which is an equally valuable contribution IMHO. What more could one want for a bit of puzzle-entertainment at the end of a day. Thanks.

Enjoyed it..enough of a stretch but not so much that I couldn’t get it.

Nice to have a straightforward puzzle without a lot of tricks. This was a pleasure to fill.

to deb and the constructor: thanks! Nice puzzle!

Terrific…the center solve and graphic ending are fabulous. Thanks!

FWIW, I thoroughly enjoyed getting the theme without the column for once, and laughed out loud. Nice puzzle!

Loved solving it and loved the animation at the end…such a fun finish! Thanks to all involved- the puzzle creator and the tech team too!

While i personally took a long time to solve this one, when I figured out the hidden color words, I was delighted, and that’s what spurred me on to finish. A challenging puzzle but worth it.

@deb I never saw Wicked, but just watched the video you posted, and feel like I experienced the best of it. thank you..and thanks to the puzzle creator for a fun puzzle.

Loved it!

Thanks! Loved it!!

Loved it! Like Caitlin, I was half done and didn’t get it until I got the wormhole… and didn’t get the relation to the ear, book, etc and worm till i read the column. But I enjoyed it alot. Thanks!

Wonderful, fun Monday puzzle. Thanks!

I enjoyed the puzzle, and as always, Deb’s explanation…but I don’t get Spy Ring… in what context are spys considered assets? Thanks.
