I had barely anything after my first pass, but ended up finishing it in one sitting in a little over half the time of yesterday's toughie. Quite enjoyable.
Hand up for chessbOaRd. Like you, it didn't take me long to ditch it. As soon as I started the downs, the seed entry (8D) took it out.
Not alone. This one took me 37% longer than Friday's. Still enjoyable.
@Justin I, too, started with LAvaLierS. I was a little skeptical as I entered it, but loved that the center L helped me get the crossing entry. Eventually realized the error.
@Stavros That occurred to me, too, but I immediately ruled out BoOBS because "oAR" was already an answer elsewhere (with an S).
@Francis "boo" and "sweetie pie" are both terms of endearment.
