Tough one. I took a gulp of VUII and that gave me a huge slice of WHNZIUVO, and after that it was just a lavish banquet.

Not trivial. Common letter gives a starting point…

Tried 3 letter words for 6th word. Found one that started word 10. I stuffed myself to the finish.

Wow. I got this one in under 2 minutes. The easy one from yesterday took me FOREVER.

Thanks again for posting these. I don’t usually reply on the thread but I do these every single day and really look forward to them.

4 min.

Most common letter, 1st word, 9th word —> 13 word, stagger along.

Getting those two two-letter words at the beginning helped.
