PDF / PUZ Hello hello! It's been tough going for the Cubbies, and...that's all I'm going to say about that. Stay cool, folks! --- 1. Puzzle #97 answer: JEJUNE Correct entries: 48 Shortest explanation: Each of the starred entries forms a synonym of "drab" with one letter changed (B E RING to B O RING, C ANAL to B ANAL, D A Y to D R Y, DU A L to DU L L, E LAND to B LAND, R APID to V APID). The old letter and the new letter of each entry are two of three letters in a 3-letter entry in the grid. The bonus letters in these 3-letter entries spell JEJUNE , an apropos synonym (and a word that sounds a lot less boring than it is!) from top to bottom. --- 2. This is going to be a Level 2.5 , but it is my goal that the next two will be Level 2 , at most. So easier ones are coming on the horizon! Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful! Mikey G The answer to the meta is a personality whose first and last names are both 5 letters long.
