  15. This pup was recently suggested in a Rex Parker blog comment as a b-day present for contributor @AnoaBob [coiner of the POC (Plurals of Convenience) xword constructioneerin maneuver]. M&A didn't know the b-day date, so I made it an early Christmas present.
    It was a mighty unusual request -- hence, a mighty unusual runtpuz ...

  41. @M&A
    How about a puzzle with the names of your test solvers in it? Getting your name in a runtpuz doesn't have quite the status of getting it in a NYT puzzle but it is better than total anonymity.

    1. But M&A would have to hide his name in the puzzle, too, kinda like a word search game. [Wink]

  89. @Bob. Not sure what happened. Let me know if it happens again. But if nothing happens with Check Solution, try hitting Check Solution again rather than hitting random keys.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I looked at @Bob's solve and the "handed in grid" button showed a blank and a typo. Due to the random keystrokes?

      Delete
    2. I guess so. Actually, I thought my grid was complete and correct, and when I tried hitting the Check Solution button, nothing happened. So I clicked on it three or four more times before going back and hitting those random keys. You know, just trying to get its attention! ;>)
