This is elegant - it didn't quite "connect" with me... until suddenly it did :).
FrankieHeck 🤓9:20 · 2021-10-17T12:35:55.949Z
Fun!
Tom Wilson 🤓7:01 · 2021-10-17T13:08:39.285Z
I love these Sunday morning challenges, since ny brain can surely use the jump-start for a new week!
Hector 🤓10:29 · 2021-10-17T13:38:16.675Z
City on the Riviera: subtle!
Meg 3s · 2021-10-17T13:13:17.459Z
That was fun and not too hard! Thanks.
RPardoe 🤓1:32 · 2021-10-17T13:26:49.500Z
Got the solution method as I was doing the grid, then really got the solution method.
As an aside, I won't mention the two alternatives I entered into 20A20AEgg yolks are likened to it[---] when I had only the first letter before entering the rather boring correct answer.
THC 🤓8:39 · 2021-10-17T13:46:03.477Z
Great puzzle!
boharr 3s · 2021-10-17T15:18:05.644Z
Clever and fun. Thanks, Will.
Chaddog 2s · 2021-10-17T16:34:12.023Z
Good one, Will!
Cindy Heisler 3s · 2021-10-17T16:42:39.944Z
Another great puzzle, Will. Enjoyed the "aha" moment!
William D 🤓12:01 · 2021-10-17T17:30:23.315Z
Great one, thanks!
wendy walker 6s · 2021-10-17T17:43:17.446Z
Super fun -- took me a while to figure out what was going on!
Hey Will, enjoyed the meta! Thanks for keeping the rating system. This one was rated spot on.
Louis D 3s · 2021-10-18T23:58:52.017Z
The more I thought about this one, the more I liked it. These are great examples which show that the relation "is a synonym of" is not transitive -- something I had never explicitly thought about before.
Flinty Steve 🤓2:39 · 2021-10-19T19:24:17.811Z
thanks!
Qmark 🤓2:46 · 2021-10-19T20:56:49.357Z
Nice puzzle, Will!
lbray53 4s · 2021-10-19T22:29:39.821Z
Fun meta. You had me thinking.
Meta World Peace 4s · 2021-10-19T23:23:11.042Z
Violating the transitive property was never so much fun!
I almost got the meta but I got hung up thinking OUTLOOK31AFish[-------]/"Fish" was SCHOOL25DPlace of learning[------] (i.e. school of thought) and couldn't make it work.
