- Bird Lives 11s · 2024-03-31T12:23:22.125ZHappy Easter. I was hoping to learn the word for that shreddy green stuff, but it doesn't seem to be in this basket. I probably should have mentioned that in my earlier solve.
- Thanks for your help with testing, Jay. I don't know the name of that Easter basket grass, but maybe someone here will be able to enlighten us.
- kymike 2s · 2024-03-31T13:20:37.673ZDoes it have a special name? I always called it like you did, Easter basket grass.
- Possibly not, but knowing this crowd, someone is sure to come up with something clever.
- Fauxliage?
- HeadinHome 🤓3:20 · 2024-03-31T19:52:16.754ZBrilliant!
- HeadinHome 🤓3:20 · 2024-03-31T19:54:38.441ZHorse hare? Veggetation?
- At the stores, it's just called Easter Grass!
- I think I like @frostyjhammer's term better.
- kymike 2s · 2024-03-31T13:20:32.897ZHappy Easter. Thanks for the fun and timely meta today.
- Thanks for solving, kymike. And Happy Easter to you too!
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2024-03-31T13:31:40.733ZHappy Easter, Rick! Perfect meta for today.
- MatthewL 🤓5:47 · 2024-03-31T14:23:26.026ZNice one, Rick! Thanks for the holiday appropriate meta. Plus, clever cluing (25D was a fave).
- LarsCaine 🤓9:55 · 2024-03-31T14:44:32.824ZThanks for 47D!
- You're welcome, LarsCaine. I wasn't sure if everyone was familiar with REBUSes, so I threw 47D in to help out.
- I K Snamhcok 3s · 2024-03-31T14:29:29.896ZHave a happy E-day!
- Much fun - thanks Rick! Now to go back and look to see if I missed any... (you always seem to load up on them)
- Thanks, Kay. It did feel kinda strange creating a puzzle where the final answer was "Easter Eggs". Please let me know if you find any more, and I'll take credit for them.
- Funny and light and easy. Don't think anyone will need any nudges.49D? I did not know that.
- I used to work at an A&P grocery store when I was in high school.
- hoover 2s · 2024-04-01T22:27:10.042ZI believe the full original name was The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. At any rate, I agree, no nudges required.
- "Don't think anyone will need any nudges."And then I read the nudges and realize.... I didn't get any of nudges 3 to 4.I kind of wondered about 1 and 3 but didn't fret too much about either, and Nudge 4 completely went past me.
- Thanks, woozy. I guess sometimes nudges are helpful, and sometimes they aren't.
- Jim23809 🤓5:11 · 2024-03-31T19:31:32.733ZWoo hoo! Didn't have to reveal any tips. Good puzzle.
- Dave C 3s · 2024-03-31T19:56:18.556ZHappy Easter. We guessed the answer before starting and it quickly became obvious.
- Thanks, Dave. Yeah, a nice easy one for the holiday. Watch out next week though!
- HeadinHome 🤓3:20 · 2024-03-31T19:51:50.210ZTotes adorbs, as the kids used to say. Fun Easter treat!
- ReB 3s · 2024-04-01T01:06:58.902ZGlad I didn't wait until tomorrow. No nudges needed this week. Thanks.
- Late start but speedy finish. Very nicely done. I missed the nuance of the misplaced EGG the first time around. Clever indeed. :) Thanks.
- Way to turn a trait into a meta Cap! I have to admit I kind of knew it before I started (given the date) but still went through the solve just because your girds are always so much fun, and this one was no exception. I did try to find an EGG for the Easter (or Paschal) Lambs but I figured that was not one of them in the end. Some wonderful cluing as usual.T
- Thank you, DrTom. A lot of folks had it pegged from the get-go, but I'm glad to see that your solving experience was still enjoyable.
- Qmark 5s · 2024-04-01T13:02:21.548ZVery fun...thanks Cap'n Rick!
- JHSeeman 3s · 2024-04-01T15:17:48.414ZHappy Easter (belated, was cooking yesterday, so only time today)
- You know I was sure I'd find a clue that was "Male Scoundrel" and "Hide like a pirate" or "What parents often say they don't want to hear even one of from their children" - but darn that was a fun puzzle as it was.
- Oh, you guys didn't think I'd let a punning contest go by without at least one shot did you? The filling for the basket is OBVIOUSLY called Eggcelsior! (though I admit I like Fauxliage as well!)
- boharr 5s · 2024-04-03T20:32:06.734ZWait. There was grass in baskets? Was any Muggle busted?
