I thought Henry not coming up with the response on two clues was telling (ringing in, and, being lost for words), I predict that he is a one day champion.
Of course, if I am incorrect, I’ll gladly have my meal of words with some hot sauce!
Good match tonight. Just a reminder:
Tuesday is 2/22/22 aka “Two’s”day. 😅
Good game and a cinch Final. Lynde probably would have eventually seized the lead and won the game had she nailed that very tough DD. She will never forget the name of that novel.
Good to start the week off with a triple solve today despite that true daily double not paying off for Lynde. I would love to see another triple solve tomorrow. The Medici were responsible for the funding of the piano and opera.
