    Reveal: There are 5 WILLS in the grid that are in the same rows as 5 WAYS: 1A SMITH (Will) and 6A MILKY (way), 15A ARNETT (Will) and 16A PARK (way), 26A FORTE (Will) and 28A HARMS (way), 42A GOOD (will) and 44A APPIAN (way), 51A POWER (will) and 52A BROAD (way). Hence the proverb "Where there's a will, there's a way."

      Way to go!

        Haha thanks!

        I got WAY first, which made it hard because all the WAYs are suffixes, which made me look for a consistent prefix for the left side. ARNETT got it for me, oddly enough.

          Yeah, I wasn't too happy with GOOD but was having a hard time making the fill.
          • kurtalert 🤓3:43 · 2024-08-04T15:44:18.168Z
            GOOD was a good fit for me - even though it's a prefix rather than suffix. I struggled with FORTE... WILL FORTE is new to me!
