@Teedmn, re: that * note of mystery: "Without" is an ancient/verse-ish version of "outside". As in "the barbarians without the gate". [or so they tell m&e]
@BobK. - Good to hear. Wondered about y’all, when I heard NJ got quaked. M&A p.s. Hope the upcomin slew of runts ain’t overly feisty. After a few thou runts, have started to run out of “sane world” theme ideas. At least ones that fit in runty puzgrids. Did make a few “regular-sized” puzs lately; submitted some of em to Shortzmeisterville. (Makin runtz is more fun, tho.)
@r.alph: Help! When M&A brings up the puzzlecrowd.com:8080/UploadRunt/ page, he gets a "Internal Server Error" - "maximum lock count exceeded". Have I made too many runtz? Thanx, M&A
@Kirk: Arggh! U are absolutely correct ... fatal spellin error in one of the runtpuz themers! Will try and work up a new version of that runt, when I get a chance. Will call it "Eventually II". Stay tuned.
Long story— this is Bob K, and I am the Anonymous in the results to this runt. Struggling with a dying computer, did the puzzle a second time as a test, didn’t mean to post! Sorry!
Thanks. I apparently have a computer dying of some kind of virus. It will just hang up for a long time on each keystroke. I had pretty much given up on ever finishing this one, and in the time I was waiting I looked up the answers to 18 A and 20 D, which I would never have known, so my score may be higher than it should be.
Thanks! As I entered my previous comment, the computer seems to have been working well, at the pleasure of my virus masters, so I jumped in and did this puzzle. And now I am goiung to shut the computer down and see if it is repairable.
@M&A - I saw on the Rex blog that you got today's wordle in 2 tries. I thought you might like to know I also got it in 2, thanks to your comment, and knowing your opening guess is full of vowels (you did reveal it once before). I was lucky and got the consonants green on my standard opening guess. It must be runts spreading the good karma.
I scored a 5 the past 2 tries. I had 4 greens on my second try today and got stuck with wrong guesses on the last letter. I don't normally go for the solve on turn 2, I have 2 starter words that cover most of the common letters.
I am posting this in the previous blog entry, so it will send an email.
@BobK and @r.alph - I notice the "Notify me' check box does not stay checked on the latest blog entry, it is like notifications are disabled for that blog entry. Maybe blogger is not allowing notifications any more??
@Bob - I updated my Jaws of Themedness solve comment to help explain the theme. I didn't catch on until a while after I was done.
Thanks teedmn.

Thanks, but I have an issue with a clue/answer. @M&A - See my solve comments!
@Kirk: Arggh! U are absolutely correct ... fatal spellin error in one of the runtpuz themers!
DeleteWill try and work up a new version of that runt, when I get a chance. Will call it "Eventually II". Stay tuned.

Nice recovery! Thanks!
Long story— this is Bob K, and I am the Anonymous in the results to this runt. Struggling with a dying computer, did the puzzle a second time as a test, didn’t mean to post! Sorry!

Thanks. I apparently have a computer dying of some kind of virus. It will just hang up for a long time on each keystroke. I had pretty much given up on ever finishing this one, and in the time I was waiting I looked up the answers to 18 A and 20 D, which I would never have known, so my score may be higher than it should be.

Thanks! As I entered my previous comment, the computer seems to have been working well, at the pleasure of my virus masters, so I jumped in and did this puzzle. And now I am goiung to shut the computer down and see if it is repairable.

This might be a questionable thing to do in a crossword. Good thing it's runt-sized.

@M&A - I saw on the Rex blog that you got today's wordle in 2 tries. I thought you might like to know I also got it in 2, thanks to your comment, and knowing your opening guess is full of vowels (you did reveal it once before). I was lucky and got the consonants green on my standard opening guess. It must be runts spreading the good karma.

@M&A - That is an amazing Wordle feat!
I scored a 5 the past 2 tries. I had 4 greens on my second try today and got stuck with wrong guesses on the last letter. I don't normally go for the solve on turn 2, I have 2 starter words that cover most of the common letters.
"Could You Buy a Vowel!" Fun, thanks!

I am posting this in the previous blog entry, so it will send an email.
ReplyDelete@BobK and @r.alph - I notice the "Notify me' check box does not stay checked on the latest blog entry, it is like notifications are disabled for that blog entry. Maybe blogger is not allowing notifications any more??
@Bob - I updated my Jaws of Themedness solve comment to help explain the theme. I didn't catch on until a while after I was done.
