      The "ice" kind works on a windshield; the "paint" kind works on a wall. / The "sky" kind works on the sky, I guess. (So the building had better be tall!)

      Could this sugar that is measured in one with diabetes / Be a pet name for your chemist spouse in lieu of "Hon'" or "Sweeties"?
    4. 6A

    3. 3D
      This raptor's nest, up on a cliff, situated ever so high, / Sounds like a description of the nest itself, what with winds there that keep rushing by.
    4. 4D
      If something is "out of" this, it means that it can't be seen. / Back in the day, if it was "outta" this, it meant it was super keen!
