- OPEN
- WILL
- Drew
- Miles
- HUNT
- Chuck
- Robin
- Jimmy
- Spangram: First Names
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I spent much of this puzzle on driving off, first by thinking about what connects all these name-siding from the 1970s? Elvis Presley Hangers-on? In the end, I decided that they were all first name, there were words to other things as well. They all sound like very solid reliable names. I wish I knew someone named Chuck, I know they would be excellent.
I thought Jimmy was the weird one until I remembered it is an excellent word to force something open with a clutch. Meanwhile, “Jimmy” in Scotland is what you call a man whose name you don’t know.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
