PDF  /  PUZ 1.  Puzzle #16 recap Puzzle #16 answer: WHOOPS Correct entries:  13 Six entries have clear problems with them in the cluing, off by a letter. Note the correct word in bold. SOB - "Really dry" ( CRY ) MAGI - "...many a lift" ( GIFT ) EMILY - "Past, for one" ( POST ) DOVE - "Brand of soup" ( SOAP ) ACE - "Fail, as a test" ( NAIL ) DEN - "...catch a cab" ( CUB ) Each of those six words can also be followed by another word somewhere else in the grid to make a common two-word item or phrase. The order listed below is the order of which the initial letters of the second word appear in the grid: CRY WOLF GIFT HORSE SOAP OPERA POST OFFICE NAIL POLISH CUB SCOUT The first letters of each of these words spell out WHOOPS , the meta answer - and something I've definitely said before in all facets of life, hahaha. 2.  Today's puzzle has a Level of 2.5  of 5.
