Unfortunate Name - Bob K here, shown as Anonymous - Thanks to a bluetooth keyboard, I was able to do this runt, though it almost killed me. Still can’t copy and paste, so I’ll remain Anonymous.
My problem on the previous two runts, other than my thickheadedness, was I tried to do them in locations where, in the middle of solving, other people could walk up to me, engage in conversation, ask what I was doing, etc. That never happens at home!
The following runtpuz is dedicated to @bodgit1, who dreamed up the title, many moons ago, so that M&A could then create this puz. Thanx, @bodgit1, wherever U are ...
The question concerned the first state to allow women to vote. In New Jersey, women were permitted to vote in the 18th Century. But then they weren't. Here's the whole story:
I have been asleep for quite a while, apparently. I don't remember how long it has been since I have put forth a new word richly endowed with the letter U.
But the other day I was reading in the August 2018 issue of Scientific American, page 79, where I came upon a word used for termite mounds in Brazil: MURUNDUS.
The SciAm article is quite clear about the role of the termites. The link given here is to an older item which isn't so clear about the role of the termites, but the pictures are great:
p.s. U may wonder why U are bein saturated with runtz lately. It's becuz after Friday, M&A will be off on a longish vacation trip again. (You'll probably get a coupla more runtz, before I leave town.)
@BobK. - After the usual semi-careful consideration, I think U have a very good point -- the 20-A clue in "Fortune Telling" didn't make a whole lotta sense.
p.s. xwordinfo.com will no longer come up on my computer. Get an "unable to establish secure connection" error. Bummer. Makes constructin and desk-checkin the runtz a whole passle harder.
I have not posted a third solution, because, as seems to be the case every time a revision has been made to a runt, even though I click on the new link, I am magically transported back to my original solution.
In any case, the failure remains mine not to have seen the answer to 16 A. I knew what I had didn't make sense, but I didn't take the time to suss out a plausible answer.
Because I have access to a bluetooth keyboard, I was able to do this runt online even on this remote island, Mall Orca. But for other technical reasons, I couldn’t get my name etc. posted, so I show as Anonymous.
p.s. Kinda looks like we need the Mighty @r.alph's help, to start a new comment thread. Until then, might soon need to punch a "Load more …" button, at the bottom of the comments.
Haven't noticed @r.alph's presence around these parts for over a month. Sure hope he's just off, enjoyin the square dancin.
@r.alph has started a new comment thread, and I will repeat the postin of the "Creature Comforts" runtpuz there, just to make sure everyone catches it. Thanx, @r.alph! M&A

Evidently the Across-Lite version of "Containment" had the answers already in it.
ReplyDeleteThis should fix that, I think:

p.s. xwordinfo.com will no longer come up on my computer. Get an "unable to establish secure connection" error. Bummer. Makes constructin and desk-checkin the runtz a whole passle harder.

I have no idea why my results got entered twice!
This one, from my point of view, could accurately be described as a real biter!
Thanks!
@BobK. -- U are probably correct; that 13-D "Monkey Snort" clue may have been overly cruel and unusual. Sooo …
ReplyDeleteOh-so-slightly-revised "Monkey Snort":
**gruntz**
Thanx -- Now U can post a third result, with an awesome time!
M&A
@M&A - Thank you for the revision.
ReplyDeleteI have not posted a third solution, because, as seems to be the case every time a revision has been made to a runt, even though I click on the new link, I am magically transported back to my original solution.
In any case, the failure remains mine not to have seen the answer to 16 A. I knew what I had didn't make sense, but I didn't take the time to suss out a plausible answer.
Just wanted you to know I wasn't ignoring you!
Thanks as always!

Thanks for a challenging Desperate Word Square!
ReplyDeleteBecause I have access to a bluetooth keyboard, I was able to do this runt online even on this remote island, Mall Orca. But for other technical reasons, I couldn’t get my name etc. posted, so I show as Anonymous.

p.s.
Kinda looks like we need the Mighty @r.alph's help, to start a new comment thread. Until then, might soon need to punch a "Load more …" button, at the bottom of the comments.
Haven't noticed @r.alph's presence around these parts for over a month. Sure hope he's just off, enjoyin the square dancin.
@r.alph has started a new comment thread, and I will repeat the postin of the "Creature Comforts" runtpuz there, just to make sure everyone catches it.
ReplyDeleteThanx, @r.alph!
