    *** Crossword Too Desperate #3 slight spoiler alert ***

    Don't know if anybody ever noticed … But the interlockin puzgrid spanners in the "Crossword Too Desperate #3" 15x15 themeless all intersected at letter U's. A little bonus, by design. Just sayin.

    Cheers,

    Re: "Way Too Desperate #4" 15x15:
    If U had trouble with 14-D, it is not yer fault! It is M&A's and Google's. Google gave m&e the clue for a word spelled one letter different than what I had asked for! And I didn't notice that subtle maneuver.
    Better 14-D clue: {Macy's "hotel bedding collection" name}.

    @Kirk: U recently asked a question about ? vs. ?? clues, in runtpuzs.
    ? clues are pretty much akin to NYTimes Crossword ? clues.
    ?? clues are generally much more cryptic; or just plain weird.

    Hope that helps.
    By the way, congratz on yer excellent "Rise and Fall" runt solve time. U seem to be gettin the hang of these lil puppies.

    Thanks, for a while I didn't think I would get this, but didn't see Rex.

    @M&A - Thanx for the answer and comment. I generally look for a 'spelling' clue when I see the double ??, especially on runty 2 letter answers.

    Many times, the difference between a quick solve and a DNF is just a letter or two to get some traction. Clues can be in your wheelhouse, or you are in the outhouse. Regardless of the result, its always fun!

    @Kirk does have a point, that one "U" got left out of the puz answers, at 4-D. A minor 4-D clue adjustment has been made, in this new version…

      HI Bob,

      Go back into Chrome, open the Expressways puzzle - it will go to the solution summary page. Go back to view the puzzle, and go into Options and set your solver name. Then Upload solution again. That should fix the anonymous solver. @R.alph can correct me if needed, but the down home options don't depend on your Google sign in like this blog does.

      And I also found some Runtpuz blog emails went to Junk earlier today, but I think your latest posts were OK. Was it Russian hackers? ;-)
