    Lots of fun even though I momentarily got stuck on the ".... but there's only 7 words...." thing. (And then when I submitted I forgot to include the "ENDeavor!"
    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T12:32:20.629Z
      Glad you enjoyed it, Claudia, and that you were able to FUL-fill that 7-letter word! 😄
    • LarsCaine 🤓10:10 · 2024-11-04T12:54:26.966Z
      Very satisfyingful!

            • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T20:13:40.363Z
              Thanks, Peter. I hope you are feeling more CHEERful and UPBEAT now. 😄

              Finally!! That was a fun Aha! moment. Thanks.

                Knew we couldn't use SWISSFUL - there are no holes in a Cap'n Rick meta! Thanks for the three years of education, recreation and stimulation. You are a true force in the field, Cap'n.
                • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T22:40:45.950Z
                  Thank you, Mike, for all of your solves and comments over the past 3 years. Here's hoping for many more!
                • MatthewL 🤓6:03 · 2024-11-04T17:16:01.856Z
                  WonderFUL! Got stuck for a bit on trying to make something happen with all the synonyms (like PEACE, CALM, GRACE, etc.) but finally focused on the title and found my way. Thanks for the puzzle, Cap'n!
                  • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T22:39:37.394Z
                    Thank you, Matthew! Glad you enjoyed it.

                    late start but instantly saw the path. Very nicely done, as always. :)
                    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T22:43:20.150Z
                      Based on the stats I'm seeing, Alan, I think you were in the minority today. Thanks for solving!
                    • DrTom 3s · 2024-11-04T20:01:00.574Z
                      Master FUL Rick! Thanks for a fun FULled morning. Great fill (as opposed to grateful, which of course I am) as usual, and I even learned the name of a Russian -American violinist. I am glad you did not put in Jazz trumpeter Ziggy because I'd have spent all day trying to fit in STARDUST.....
                      • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-04T22:42:20.642Z
                        Thanks, DrTom. Always happy to provide an occasional learning nugget for solvers (and myself!). 😁
                      • DavyGravy 2s · 2024-11-05T00:42:53.674Z
                        I was hung up looking for 10 words. So I had COYFUL and IREFUL and needed one more - which was never to come. So I knocked those two out and had the 7 letters - then a really great aha moment seeing the solution. Fun one!
                        • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-05T01:56:54.947Z

                            Thanks for another great meta, Cap'n Rick! The super title was my way in after staring at the completed grid for a while. And symmetry helped too.
                            • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-11-05T15:33:44.874Z

                                    This meta is a SUCCESS even if I was not. LOL I got stuck in the "right church, wrong pew" of ENDAVORing to force TRY into or onto words. I just couldn't switch my focus to another tree in that forest. Well done, Capn!

                                      My first thought was to look for ENDw ords to fulfill by adding those letters before, after, around. On second thought . . . Nice one. (And you do not have to respond to this comment.)

                                        SCUT sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to fit WORK into things… sometimes it can be a fulfilling endeavor.
