This was a bit tough however I feel it helped enormously that BRICK was the precise phrase for 1-Across. Having that made numerous the Down phrases fairly straightforward, or at the very least helped me affirm that they have been proper. I believed SLEETS was a bit odd, and IGOTIT I needed to fill in with different phrases. My huge mistake on the finish was utilizing Rob as an alternative of Bob for BOBMOOG, however once I noticed 7-Down was RURST I figured it out fairly rapidly. This took me a whopping 3:14 right now, which isn’t nice however oh properly! How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
