There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Aspiring recappers just need a little spark.

Another more normal day again. I'm counting the second Toss-Up as a no-letter on my side.

ONE HUNDRED & TEN PERCENT just doesn't look right. I'd have put the AND in there. Also figured the final puzzle wouldn't be GIVING THE FINAL SPIN with no letters, as that would be pushing it.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Again, I was hoping the Wild Card would help out, but I guess we were leaning towards vowel overload.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

I'd have filed that one under What Are You Doing? instead. Enjoying the connected closing chats. I wonder if they can keep it up for the rest of the week.

Recap posted. I'm back to my normal schedule.

This one was just...average. That's all I can say. I did no-letter the opening Toss-Ups.

BR: Also RSTLNEd, but I thought HIM would make more sense.

FOOD & DRINK

Didn't want to do something obvious like MARYLAND BLUE CRABS, but these types of cookies were originated in East Baltimore around 1835 by a German immigrant named Henry Berger. The more you know...

This Baltimore salute wasn’t bad, but it could’ve been better. I had no idea where Racquel thought the C would go in R3. And I kinda wish Nick went for some more money in R2.

I had TU1 with just the S, TU2 with no letters, and R2 with just the G’s and E’s. But R4 was tricky because of that last word.

By the way, R2 could’ve been a Phrase and R4, WAYD?

I solved the BR with Dinah’s picks. I’m not sure what combo would’ve worked here, but I think WAITING was gettable.

My rating: 5
