    Congrats to today’s teachers on getting final right. Well played game. Much Better than yesterday so there are still two more wildcards available. Plus even if that Shakespeare daily double eluded meggie, it won’t hurt her in the long run. Let’s hope tomorrow will have more triple solves. Speaking of the iron curtain, the command and conquer red alert series has this weapon to make vehicles invulnerable as mentioned by Einstein.
