Title: LAT Mon. 7/4 Peter A. Collins
Post by: magus on July 04, 2011, 09:02:46 AM
Happy Fourth!

 :) Seems a stroke of genius to fit in a 15 x 15 grid THOMASJEFFERSON across the middle and then cross that  with THEDECLARATION and OFINDEPENDENCE. (Note the interesting grid structure.)
 :) Working JOHN and ADAMS into the grid is a bonus.
 :) There even was a riddle:  What can’t be parted after it’s departed?   HAIR
 :) As this is a Monday, it was also made easy to solve.

The only stain was OST, but even there the clue was good, “East, to Ernst.” [I would have gone with “Bone, comb. Form.”]

RATING:   ;D ;D ;D Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
