Yeah, I kept getting busy and forgetting until late in the work day, so I switched mostly to night when I’m not caught up in other stuff. But I’m going to try to post at a more reasonable time.
I did cheat a little and found a list of “Works by Robert Burns”. That helped me get #3, and then #5 came, and the rest followed.

Use each letter of the alphabet once in this grid. Some letters have already been placed. Can you finish the puzzle with the help of the randomly ordered clues?
Clues: economize * find innocent * vague * Oslo inlet * used a loom * wildcat * panhandles
So much for a reasonable time, btw.
Correct!
01/27/2022 Treasures
Locate hidden treasures in 12 of the empty cells of this grid. The numbers outside the grid indicate how many treasures there are in each row or column. Each arrow points directly toward one or more of the treasures. An arrow may be immediately next to a treasure it point to, or it may be farther away. Not every treasure will necessarily have an arrow pointing to it. Can you locate the 12 treasures?
That was pretty fast. Correct!

Three items are listed after each category below, but their vowels (including Y’s) are missing and the words are strung together. For example, University: L P R D D K yields the answer Yale, Purdue, Duke. Can you identify all of these vowelless items?
- Fabric: L N N S D T F F T
- Mythical being: L F N C R N M R M D
- US state: R G N H W L L N S
- Farm animal sounds: N K M B
There’s another word here I’ve never heard of. Plus, it seems to me one of the answers doesn’t exactly match it’s category, unless I’ve always been wrong in what I thought the word meant.

Yep, that’s the word I’ve never heard of. And I call foul on suede. Google says fabric, by definition, is woven or knit. Suede is neither.
otoh, i see pages that mention “suede fabric”. So maybe there’s a looser definition of fabric they’re not showing.
