@Lewis That's not the same solution in the Wordle I completed an hour ago. Oh! You got me!

@SP Those very easy clues helped me so much when I was a beginning solver.

@Mean Old Lady The Minnesota State Fair has an exhibit with typesetters and the equipment showcasing the landmark 1931 "Near v Minnesota" freedom of the press case. It's fun to see the reactions, esp the realization of how much work it took for people to publish their opinions (not just a quick tweet)!

@Katie And HENS with EGG. I quite enjoyed this puzzle too.

@Francis I've heard this said many times. Maybe a midwest or southern thing.

@HeathieJ The Darlings was a way to showcase the musical talent of real-life bluegrass band The Dillards, as well as Andy Griffith himself, who often joined in. There was also an episode or two which featured a local man who turned out to have an opera voice. And of course the wonderful voice of Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle. It seemed like underestimating people's talents & abilities was the theme of many episodes.

@sotto voce Thanks for the Mama Cass "Dream a Little Dream of Me" link. Her sultry, soothing voice made my afternoon!

@Bob T. Thanks for the link! An inspiration to learn this, along with a few of the incredible Scripps Spelling Bee words from last week!

@David Reiffel That's super impressive - Congrats!

@Julia Me too!

@Seward Parker Thank you for this information!

@Seward Parker And if only this were true of Wordle as well!

@Jane Wheelaghan Y is a vowel In this puzzle in 66A and 60D (ENVY, STY).

@Vaer Thanks for linking this! The comments note that Bobby Dix died in Jan 2025 at age 101. What a voice & presence he had! Lucille Ball looks beautiful and genuinely choked up as Bobby sings this rousing patriotic tune during WWII.
