SMS during tangathon

SMS during tangathon

Because of the volume of messages that get sent out during the tangathon we’ve temporarily disabled sms messaging so your cell phone bills don’t go sky high. If you want to get notified of product releases we suggest signing up for email messaging. Be aware we also have RSS feeds but they will be a bit behind the normal messaging channels.

Mea culpa culpa from puzzlemaster

Mea culpa culpa from puzzlemaster

OK everyone. I need your help. I can’t find a log to hide under.

There were TWO errors in the puzzle today. Both have been corrected.

The box sizes in row three were wrong AND the wrong word was clued in the rightmost box in row 3. The clue “Hooter” was for owl, which is not a fitting answer.

Use this blog to vent and to offer suggestions to my masters for methods of discipline.
