                        This was just bilious, Rick -- and I mean that in the nicest way possible! :-)
                        • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-02-16T04:17:02.607Z
                          Thanks, Claudia. I think that's the best word to describe this feeling!

                            • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-02-18T00:11:49.657Z

                              Ooh dang! Kept entering Nauseous. I’m new to meta puzzles… how is it nausea?
                              • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-02-21T13:09:58.625Z
                                Hi Jacob. Thanks for working on my puzzle. NAUSEA comes from the first letters of the 3-letter words/abbreviations under the six Cs in the grid (i.e. the "C legs" or "sea legs").
                              • DrTom 9s · 2024-07-18T17:13:12.416Z
                                Luckily I always had mine - Sea Legs that is. Still it was fun to watch the newbies on their first cruise...and of course to say things like "man I could use a nice greasy cheeseburger right now", "anyone have any sardines" or "ever notice how much spaghetti looks like worms?" I have to admit I got it from Ipecac and what I thought was a wandering, non-sea leg individual in the upper R Hand corner where NAUSEA is easily, if not straight-line, spelled.
                                Cap that puzzle was SICK!
