Fun. However I got “very part of your life.” at the end, I expected “every part of your life”? Am I wrong?
Good catch! Yes, the quote was compiled correctly, but during the grammar adjustment process, I think the application “did an overthink” and changed “every” to “very” from the original source. Unfortunately, as it has already been submitted, I cannot easily change it, so I’ll wait until it cycles out next Sunday and change it then. Thanks.
I think about 1/3 of the way through I thought the long opening word was what it is, but I was reluctant to make a jump of faith that long. I suspect that guesses about long words are more reliable than guesses about shorter words. For instance, I originally guessed the word on row 5, columns 16-19 where “life” belongs.
Thanks for the challenge. I had my hip replaced Monday, June 3 and these puzzles provide a pleasant diversion while I’m healing.
