    Nice! You're cranking them out, and they're excellent! You really should get your puzzles on the Xword Muggles Forum... Just message Capn Rick (SSS) or Abide (MMM) and they can put you on the calendar. Why not?

        Reveal: There are seven words in the grid that if you change one of the letters it becomes a color: 1A ROBE becomes roSe, 10A WHILE is whiTe, 12A BLOCK is blAck, 15D COPAL is coRal, 31A DEMON is Lemon, 32A POACH is pEach, 35A MEAL is Teal. The substituted letters spell STARLET which is one letter off from SCARLET.
