If so, then you’re a better man than I, Lesley! I got all the clue words fairly quickly, but the answer letters are leaving me cold! I’ve always been a big boxing fan, but I’m a strugglin’ to git this answer. I was thinking the fourth word has to be UPSET, because the way the pug is talking it seems he was favored to win. However, the single F, and the absence of an R, is making me think that the fourth word might be OFTEN, because the palooka seems to be repeating himself. The other five letter word I was toying with was BOAST, sorta for the same reasons as UPSET. I suppose it’s possible I messed up on one of the clue words, but I think this is a case where I’d do better with a couple of long words, than four shorter words. It’s probably something SO simple and obvious that I’ll end up kicking myself!

A week later and I finally gave up on this one. I just could not get ANTHEM, even while trying to back into it. I got TREATMENTS, and I even had the letters for WINDOW…but no luck. Today I will, repeat will, be successful in today’s Sunday puzzle!

Weapon and anthem took a minute — but I somehow got the answer quickly!! Good puzzle. But, it seems familiar.

I guess I just read what I wanted to read! I did not catch it, at all. Nice job, Linda!

I was thrown off by it too. Evidently it didn’t bother my editor. They should know better than to trust me with words.

I was thrown off by the sign in the window that reads “Message $50″, rather than the correct spelling of “Massage $50″. I thought that would play into the answer, but it didn’t.

I agree, this was a more difficult puzzle to do. But, I was thrown off, too, by the one sign in the window that reads “Message $50″ instead of the correct spelling “Massage $50″. I kept thinking that that played into the answer – but it didn’t.
