So much fun and so clever! Thanks for the puzzle, Will.
DIS 🤓22:20 · 2023-04-16T16:18:55.823Z
Didn't need to google, though I had to backsolve the T. TWA? Good thing I'm old.
Carolyn 7s · 2023-04-16T16:53:00.713Z
Enjoyed that a lot! I also had Delta for a moment, until the light went on. Thanks!
Bird Lives 3s · 2023-04-16T16:41:36.072Z
Thanks for the puzzle, and the memories. (Has anyone else around here flown in a TWA Constellation?)
ajk 🤓7:12 · 2023-04-16T17:29:21.401Z
Was definitely wobbly about the airline, since DELTA fits much better (still in operation, clearly one of the big 3). In end decided that EASTERN58AOne of "The Big Four"[-------] being (more or less) defunct was permission to use TWA. But not sure I would have gotten there without backsolving that it had to be a T. :) Fun one, thanks.
Nice puzzle! While I recognized United and American as airlines, I hadn't heard of Eastern. Even before starting the puzzle I thought that Meta might be the answer based solely on the prompt so ME?A was enough for me to guess it.
ReB 3s · 2023-04-16T19:35:33.488Z
Like others had to backsolve for TWA, but since Eastern was on the list, it fit the bill. Fun diversion for a Sunday.
StephenC 1:01 · 2023-04-16T20:02:47.496Z
Thank you, Will. I enjoy your work.
HeadinHome 🤓7:41 · 2023-04-16T21:12:07.435Z
Longly. Must start using that one. It sounds Shakespearean. Fun puzzle!
Tyrpmom 19:17 · 2023-04-16T21:14:26.388Z
Thanks Will.
hoover 2s · 2023-04-16T22:56:54.884Z
I'm just going to start guessing that for every puzzle.
My dad flew for Pan Am, so Eastern came easily. Had to be TWA via back solving. I remember when Eastern went out of business. I was flying into Atlanta and saw rows and rows of grounded Eastern aircraft. Eerie.
Billy 🤓11:23 · 2023-04-20T16:05:08.715Z
Nice puzzle!
Meta World Peace 4s · 2023-04-22T13:13:00.388Z
Funny that the answer itself belongs to still another Big Four (per Wikipedia)!
