Unlike most days, the theme was pretty unambiguous today. So much that getting the Spanogram last wasn’t an issue.

Two days in a row the theme seemed pretty clear to me. Makes the game much more doable without hints.

Yeah, two easy days. Saw the spangram on first move yesterday. Saw all words easily today.

Fell ass-backward into this one. Saw the first half of the spanagram right away and just kept going. After than the rest of words were easy to see.

Saw the theme, then traffic, didn’t get stuck.

Something must be wrong with their copy function. I found music and was perplexed then traffic. I started thinking commute, commuter, train, carpool. I took the hint and got talk. Then it hemmed in what would be a vertical spanagram ending in time. It dawned on me it was about the radio.

When I had a daily drive commuting into work in NY, I used to listen to a local radio station that had the catch phrase, “You give us 22 minutes, we’ll give you the world.” In that block of time, they would hit all of the stuff mentioned in todays puzzle. Except maybe comedy.

I have to admit, the first word I was looking for was Aerosmith, and briefly Monty Python. : )

Chalking this one up to 3/4 of a failure. I didn't get theme until word #6

Thought it was going to be a car thing after drive, re-tire, miles (not valid). Then caught on.

That was very straight forward for me but I found graduate first.

Nice job finding the theme words 🔵 and Spangram 🟡. You used 1 hint 💡.


Not sure why the "share your results key" wasn't working. Definitely tough for me. I had to look up the meaning of the clue word I got. Never heard of mage. Then found rogue and was thinking classes of subs or ships. My first two words created the ceiling for the spanagram and once I found that I got on the right track but it was still difficult. If you played D&D this probably would be right up your alley.

I likely only knew what a 'mage' was from watching The Witcher.

Was wondering why brainteaser wasn’t the spangram… then saw it

Yeah, I knew it was brain because of my other two guesses. It was a very circuitous route to get the whole word.

I found brainteaser two different ways before I went off and found a few more answers around the teaser part.
