The answers to today’s threads, game #498, is …

- LIBRARIAN
- Fireman
- Spanggram: Community
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
Although the teacher was easy to spot-to hang out very visible in the upper left corner-residue of today’s response made up the word search challenge.
With the exception of the mayor, every word was hard to train, with the caretaker who took me for a while – though I can use a cultural differences apology here when I am in England and we call this profession a caretaker.
That said I am very familiar with the word thanks to the opening titles of the Hanna Barbera Commerce Hong Kong Phooey And its introduction of “Henry the Mild, as the Caretaker”.
Meanwhile, after a run with sensible, straight and short tension, we have returned to experimentation with today’s yellow snake that ends in the middle of the puzzle. Crazy.
