- Took me two guesses, but I got it! I like what you guys did with this one. Will now try to look at it from the standpoint of a new solver.
- oldjudge 37s · 5 months agoGreat job guys--an easy start to the werk
- boharr 3s · 5 months agoFun and clever. Thank you.
- Bird Lives 4s · 5 months agoVery clever. It took a while for the second penny to drop, but when it did, it doubled my admiration.
- imontoo 6s · 5 months agoFun!
- Meg 11s · 5 months agoLots of fun!
- auee89 3s · 5 months agoNice job! I did like 68A68AWendy: Jewelry brand that billed itself as "Jet-Settier" / Rick: John, inventor of logarithms / Peter: Florida Gator football coach Billy[------]. Peter's clue required no Googlin' for me.
- Carolyn 4s · 5 months agoVery clever. I had both answers but tried to link them somehow. Stopped trying and just submitted! Still puzzling over the MGWCC though.
- hoover 3s · 5 months agoLove the shape of the grid! Also hooray for the logarithm clue because that's a name I know; would not have gotten it with just Wendy's and Peter's clues. I got the meta on the first try, but I don't understand how the 8LW fits other than to provide scaffolding for the 4LW. Is it like a flask that you put in your pocket?
- Tyrpmom 2s · 5 months agoFirst went with hint. Lint made me smile. Thanks.
- I K Snamhcok 1s · 5 months agoNeato! Thanks, all!
- Teamdoubletow 5s · 5 months agoWhat a lovely meta and a fabulous collaboration! Thanks so much for sharing!
- Darth 🤓5:26 · 5 months agoLol -- I was looking for a two-word phrase, trying to find a 4-letter word to go with the first
- Ok now I need to ask...what is half pint lint!?!?
- whimsy 🤓16:31 · 5 months agoThere is such a thing as "half-pint lint" -- see below. :)
- Qmark 5s · 5 months agoFun meta...thanks!
- whimsy 🤓16:31 · 5 months agoVery nice and very fun, Folks! Knowing the way this forum veers, I was trying for something along the lines of a hip flask all along. But I do see a relationship between the two -- -- years of caring for two-year-old half-pints always found me with crumpled tissues and their other dregs and snippets in my pockets.
- DrTom 4s · 5 months agoInterestingly enough I had never heard of a Kangaroo word or any of its variants. How apropos that Nun of us thought how a convent may be something witch is ominous ; -)
- Dave Bromsey 20s · 5 months agoTook me 3 tries. Fantastic puzzle muggles!
- michaelm 🤓2:59 · 5 months agoThat last nudge finally released my inner Joey:
Facepalm. Calm. All three jobs very nicely done! Thanks so much for the MMM - Snood 🤓27:00 · 5 months agoVery clever design and meta! Thank you
- Alvibu67 11s · 5 months agoGreat puzzle! Love the fill and the shape of the grid! None of the 68A68AWendy: Jewelry brand that billed itself as "Jet-Settier" / Rick: John, inventor of logarithms / Peter: Florida Gator football coach Billy[------]clues were helpful for me, but now I’ve learned three new things!
- Ergcat 19:44 · 5 months agoGot it! After sending PM’s to Wendy….. I saw it in my PM!
I liked this puzzle, very clever !! but I don’t see what “halfpint” has to do with pockets?- Where else would you keep your half-pint? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQoqptjBccG2VLhDFyIhMCnZ9yFYhPAJr6RPg&usqp=CAU
- kurtalert 10:44 · 5 months agoReally fun - great puzzle!
- Gutman 8s · 5 months agoI could put a pint in my pocket
- ReB 4s · 5 months agoFumbled this one because I couldn't count to 8, I guess or I missed one of the stars/numbers. I don't know what short-circuited in my brain. Didn't really need the nudges except that I realized from them that there had to be 8 starred clues, and then the rest was straightforward after I replaced the fuse.
- Hidden in 3D 4s · 5 months agoWow! I had the answer all along, but I needed those nudges to be sure. So much fun! Thank you all!
- Sharkicicles 2s · 5 months agoThanks Wendy for the nudge! Wasn’t sure how “half-pint” was connected to pockets until she explained :)
