“It’s like talking to a brick wall.” I know exactly what that feels like, thanks to having grown up with a father to whom all of today’s words could apply; I would add a few more, given the space.
Maybe that’s why the search came easily to me, despite a couple of well-hidden words and a spangram that defied the normal up-to-down, side-to-side routine.
Much more difficult was searching the board for words that were not from the game.
