    Nicely hidden, I had Yogaclass for workout for the longest time until I saw reason…
    Thank Chris
    • Berto 1s · 2024-04-21T13:01:57.996Z
      Me too!!! SYKITS wasn’t doing much for me…
      • whimsy 🤓10:25 · 2024-04-21T19:46:17.355Z
        Add another to the "Well, SKY___ seems like a reasonable start..." solvers. Until, of course, something better came along. Thanks for the fun outing, Chris!
      • Pair O Ducks 7:58 · 2024-04-21T13:09:36.189Z
        YOGACLASS got me too — although I had it linked with outdoors! This city slicker needs to brush up on her synonyms for "boondocks."
        • DrTom 18:05 · 2024-04-22T05:37:34.099Z
          Well I’m originally from the boondocks so I was ok with that, but yes SKY had me sure I was going right, I thought it was going to be SKYLIT for a while. It didn’t make sense but it was enticing.

        Far out!
        • Darth 15:35 · 2024-04-21T13:16:45.036Z
          Nice and neat. Thanks for the smooth construction.
          • Meg 17s · 2024-04-21T13:42:56.544Z
            Outstanding!

                Nice one Chris. Thanks for the good start of another meta week.
                • MatthewL 🤓7:03 · 2024-04-21T14:35:39.966Z
                  Nice one. Tried SKIRTS first, but then realized I needed to carry the theme forward. Thanks for the puzzle!
                  • hoover 4s · 2024-04-21T15:45:49.265Z
                    I guess I am not stretching my legs outdoors today.
                    • KayW 🤓5:49 · 2024-04-21T16:11:55.794Z
                      Nice one, fun to figure OUT. Thanks!
                      • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2024-04-21T16:50:27.759Z
                        I kept wanting to stretch my legs outdoors, but finally realized that wasn't going to work. Thanks, Chris!
                        • lbray53 4s · 2024-04-21T16:57:31.838Z
                          I could not find the Sssecond S for quite sometime. I also had Yoga Class for WORKOUT. And THEN I used Yoga Class for OUTDOORS!
                          • Hector 🤓8:41 · 2024-04-21T16:08:55.416Z
                            I had YOGA CLASS too, but I was thinking that OUTDOORS is "a place to stretch your legs". I assume it's supposed to be STICKS? I don't really associate "boondocks" with being outdoors. Came close to a STRIKEOUT on this one. :-)
                            • Carolyn 6s · 2024-04-21T15:51:21.881Z
                              Ditto for yoga class. Fun puzzle!
                              • Mwoychick 🤓8:28 · 2024-04-21T14:56:27.439Z
                                I was on the same track as others with yoga class - thinking it must be SKY something even though the order wasn't right. Thanks for the puzzle, Chris!
                                • Wendy Walker 3s · 2024-04-21T22:36:42.786Z
                                  SSS, NNN! Your puzzles are always such a treat, Chris!
                                  • michaelm 🤓10:15 · 2024-04-21T21:05:20.875Z
                                    Thanks, Chris! Tried to make this an ultra lazy SSS and skirt the mechanism by first trying SPACED OUT.
                                    • ajk 7:43 · 2024-04-21T22:00:45.945Z
                                      Needed a nudge because I got a bit stuck on some of the alternates. "Place to stretch one's legs" seemed to match OUTDOORS or WORKOUT, and "Tract in the country" seemed to really match OUTDOORS. Also wasn't too sure about "Surpass" for OUTGROW. Got there in the end though. :)
                                      • kurtalert 🤓5:18 · 2024-04-22T01:54:48.527Z
                                        Thought for sure this was going to be strikeout - especially given the baseball reference - but couldn't find an E answer to make work with OUTDOORS! Fun puzzle, thanks Chris!

                                          Thoroughly enjoyable!
                                          • Eric Porter 8s · 2024-04-22T17:33:38.859Z
                                            I had trouble with outdoors / yoga class and finding the one for outgrow... and used an anagram solver.

                                              (I will add that my solution looks like YKIRTS, so I know I have something awry… but it was close enough to guess the answer. I have YOGACLASS for outDOORS… all the others are in order to spell _KIRTS… Could I say that “outdoors” and “spa” are both health resorts and call it a day? ( : I’ll be interested to see what the actual pairings were supposed to be.

                                                This was lots of fun! Thanks, Chris!
