Yes, the smiley face was cute...but 44 black squares in a 16x16 puzzle? Is that too many? The answer to "Not in the bk." was UNL, short for UNLISTED. Perhaps Wechsler could have reworked that section of the grid to allow for the use of a real word. "Swear" was CUSS, which is dialectic; the proper word is CURSE. And our old friends ALE and ORE are here to greet the new year with us. Speaking of which...happy new year, everyone!
