    Very pleasant solve
    • woozy 15:35 · 2022-12-12T18:34:12.518Z
      Okay.... Hebrew reads right to left.
      Now, I just have to figure out how a the META was supposed to work. Seven of the the words read backwards are SORE, LEVER, AVON, IRON, IRIS, TORT and STEM and .... beyond that, I go nothin'
      • Bird Lives constructor · 2022-12-12T20:13:15.002Z
        Arabic too reads right to left. How are those directions usually designated?
        • SJMcK 14:40 · 2022-12-12T22:10:33.704Z

            I’m in the same boat as woozy. I don’t know how those answers are usually designated
          • whimsy 🤓19:30 · 2022-12-14T14:54:58.054Z
            Yep, I was trying to turn those inside out!
          • I K Snamhcok 7s · 2022-12-12T18:25:29.224Z
            Quite nice! Thanks, Jay!
            • DIS 🤓7:09 · 2022-12-12T18:50:01.216Z
              I love it when the answer is perfect for the title, but you don't see it until you solve it. Well done!
              • Laura M 🤓20:30 · 2022-12-12T19:42:03.867Z
                That was great!
                • boharr 3s · 2022-12-12T19:56:46.884Z
                  Very clever. Thanks.

                    Finally found the correct path. Clever puzzle.
                    • Hector 3s · 2022-12-12T23:37:57.766Z
                      Nicely executed. Wasted time trying to turn entries "inside out"...
                      • Ergcat 20:14 · 2022-12-13T01:07:26.750Z
                        Great way to start the week! Thank you!
                        • woozy 15:35 · 2022-12-13T02:40:05.082Z
                          Oh, .... I get the order now.
                          • woozy 15:35 · 2022-12-13T02:38:49.331Z
                            Ok. Now I get it. But.... I don't get the order (it should by EHRBEW???) and what about.... TOWELS.
                            • dplass 6:55 · 2022-12-13T04:58:40.078Z
                              Nice. Can't believe I got it. I almost didn't even start when you wrote it was more difficult than the usual fare.
                              • dplass 6:55 · 2022-12-13T04:58:15.756Z

                                  Very nice! Thanks for the nudge. Loved it when the light came on.
                                  • Schmeel 3s · 2022-12-14T13:40:07.240Z
                                    The nudges helped.הרמזים עזרו I don't think that I would have gotten it otherwise.נראה לי שלא הייתי מצליח בלעדיהם Thanks for the puzzle!תודה לתשבץ

                                      Found it after trying other contortions! Thank you, Jay! Now to do laundry since I too have faulty towels!
                                      • KayW 🤓9:39 · 2022-12-14T20:03:56.619Z
                                        Mazel Tov! Nudged ashore, and as usual... in hindsight they should not have been necessary. Thanks Jay!
                                        • Bbaack 15:15 · 2022-12-15T00:27:25.183Z
                                          Very nice! I came late to the party (bar mitzvah?) and had to be nudged in. Thanks for the clever meta!
                                          • Mwoychick 🤓11:55 · 2022-12-15T00:46:04.017Z
                                            I was trying all sorts of things, which led nowhere, of course. Got it with the nudges. Thanks, Jay - very clever!
                                            • Teamdoubletow 3s · 2022-12-15T01:17:50.460Z
                                              What a clever puzzle! We couldn't stop focusing on one idea because of Taebo and beta but with the 3rd nudge we were able to reframe. My husband... Ignoring the prompt wanted the answer to be body... But this answer is so fitting! Thanks for the fun puzzle.
                                              • ReB 4s · 2022-12-15T03:00:32.361Z
                                                Apartment nudge did it for me, though I still had a few more false steps along the way.

                                                  I got it with some of the nudges. Not sure I would have seen it on my own. Very clever meta. Thanks!
                                                  • Capn Rick 🤓7:40 · 2022-12-16T02:17:57.468Z
                                                    Nice one, Jay! Very clever.
                                                    • CJ 18:29 · 2022-12-16T03:44:04.346Z
                                                      I would never have gotten Hebrew. Nice puzzle though.
