Super-lazy to rely on crap fill like that so often. Nothing worse than having a puzzle loaded with ABET, AREA, ERR, OTOE, OBOE, and other ordinary, easy everyday junk, and then getting smacked with the ridiculous MATSU, which I have never seen (and I do 5 puzzles a day, minimum). That kind of jarring disparity is the sign of a badly calibrated puzzle.Rex Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-88587184047473108792008-03-03T09:50:00.000-06:002008-03-03T09:50:00.000-06:00Its only a typo, but EEI for snake-like-fish shoul...Its only a typo, but EEI for snake-like-fish should read; EELAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-15099067735046735362008-03-02T11:01:00.000-06:002008-03-02T11:01:00.000-06:00marielle53,Thanks for bringing up NENE.I had a qui...marielle53,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing up NENE.<BR/><BR/>I had a quick check, and found out NENE has appeared twice since Jan 21. <BR/><BR/>C.C.Zhouqin (C.C.)
