If anyone typed in PLANE and was confused why that wasn't accepted: I did debate including that as an alternative answer, but while PAPER PLANE is definitely a thing, PLANE MODE is decidedly not. According to Wikipedia, other terms for AIRPLANE MODE are aeroplane, flight, offline, or standalone mode, but "plane mode" doesn't make the cut. English is weird.

Thanks, Emma!

Good one! And FWIW I agree with your ruling on PLANE. Easy for me to say because PLANE never occurred to me I guess haha. I had AIRPLANE long before I had the rest of the puzzle done :-)

Oh, PAPER PLANE is definitely a thing! Gonna have to make one tonight now!

Yep, I typed in plane at first, and of course realized it didn't make sense with MODE. I'm with ya! ;)
