    Welcome to Crosshare!
    • Hector 2s · 2023-05-08T12:48:12.441Z
      Fun!
      • DIS 🤓5:42 · 2023-05-08T15:19:41.489Z
        Very clever mechanism -- thanks!
        • boharr 3s · 2023-05-08T16:45:09.028Z
          Despite all my confusion, I figured it out (with help). Thanks, Chris
          • HeadinHome 🤓12:45 · 2023-05-08T18:24:16.469Z
            What a great but do-able challenge... just right for a Monday! Thanks!
            • Laura M 🤓10:28 · 2023-05-08T19:14:23.854Z
              Very nice!

                    Needed those nudges! Very nice. Thanks
                    • Ergcat 17:36 · 2023-05-09T01:03:44.647Z
                      Clever puzzle! Took me a while to get the “mix” as in scramble to get a new word ! At first I had ATE —> TEA and matched it with “salad” ( leaves on a menu like tea leaves??) . Anyway, didn’t work but I could see what letters I needed. Thank you for a fun start to the week!
                      • frostyjhammer 9:20 · 2023-05-12T14:51:18.436Z
                        I went down that same rabbit hole! Quite a mechanism.
                      • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-05-09T00:55:45.001Z
                        Needed the nudges, but I must say it was the most enjoyable meta that used parentheses. Great mechanism. Thanks!
                        • Berto 🤓3:17 · 2023-05-09T02:20:05.648Z
                          Needed the nudges, and still took a bit longer as I got ‘mixed’ up with ELM… (elm beetle LARVA?) and TEA… (being diuretic maybe a good match for LOO…) Fun puzzle!
                          • Eric Porter 2:26 · 2023-05-10T21:40:06.328Z
                            Ha, I also thought that it was ELM. I saw online that a synonym was 'white', so I chose 'blanc', then realized my mistake once all 8 were written out and I had ENSEEBLE.
                          • I K Snamhcok 2s · 2023-05-09T03:28:06.909Z
                            Had a bit of trouble following the directions, but finally got it right. Fun! Thanks, Chris!
                            • MatthewL 🤓8:48 · 2023-05-09T14:10:22.917Z
                              Sheesh -- finally. Needed the nudges and even then was confused. Finally clicked for me as I was typing out a request for a further nudge -- as I typed what I had, I realized what I had to do. Very nice meta (once I saw it)!
                              • michaelm 🤓2:21 · 2023-05-09T15:40:03.442Z
                                Used the two Monday nudges. Mind-bending meta (scared of parentheticals). Tthe aha! when typing out the right answer in the Excel file was one of the best ever as I thought it was probably another dead end at the time! Thanks for that joy!
                                • KayW 🤓7:26 · 2023-05-09T21:25:40.146Z
                                  Brilliant! Me, not so much. I needed the nudges.
                                  • DrTom 3s · 2023-05-10T02:57:01.742Z
                                    Wow, this one was tough for me, mainly because I was looking so hard to rearrange the last part of the Y portion as well. It is not until a helpful muggle said "you got MEL, what do you immediately think of...and I remembered BLANC. The others did not go easily though because I was locked into a certain rearrangement of the ends for the X portion like SNAP -> NAPS, PANS, SNAP, SPAN and STAL -> SLAT, SALT, ALTS, LAST. I also did not think I could use END because it had already served as a "guide" clue. SO the NOSH and BLANC were easy but the other two, well.
                                    Anyway, novel mechanism and interesting construction. Good job Chris, pour yourself an Eagle Rare!
                                    • whimsy 🤓12:18 · 2023-05-10T02:54:20.291Z
                                      Used every nudge I could get. Also a bit confused on the "matching" concept; I too had thoughts along the lines of tea, leaves, salad --- also was thinking ELM Street and RODEO Drive. :) Thank you, Chris!
                                      • Snood 🤓3:31 · 2023-05-11T17:51:08.021Z
                                        Loved the cluing! Thank you for sharing and giving me the extra shove!
                                        • Capn Rick 🤓9:24 · 2023-05-13T14:23:22.517Z
                                          Thanks, Chris! Challenging for me too. I used all of the nudges, but it was worth it in the end. Clever mechanism.
