And a very good morning to you!

Krys10

testing123, what time zone are you in? it's still night for me, just sent my last client home twenty minutes ago.

So, I have this dorky habit when I play this game: looking for at least one word that's a repeat from yesterday's list. So far I've always been able to do it. I've already found one for today's puzzle :)

I have a sprained thumb and shouldn't be typing!
12:24 am
testing123

You are right, I think, there are always repeats! :)
I am in Europe, Holland. It is half past eight in the morning, time to feed my children and get them ready for school. Pleasant dreams to you, then!

Krys10

Good evening testing123!

I think negro would be omitted because it's typically capitalized.

I've been culling clues - I've got some sevens to hunt! But I have R7-32 x2 and R7-28 x2.

Hi Ashy, welcome - quite a hard grid today. Find some words for us, please!

Mal, *blush* it is only because of all the help here and all the wonderful clues that I get the opportunity to finish a grid. Sometimes there are words I really never would have thought up myself without help. :-)

A really strange M5/26 that was in another grid, recently:
aromatic gum resin, aka balm of Gilead. I'll never forget that one, had to look for it too long that first time! ;-))

Thanks stevedallas. That made me get it much faster than the gum arabic clue would have!

Took a print of this grid to work today... had to sit through a boring course. It helped! If the wordracer stats of Krys10 are right, I need one other word... but which???
I'll do a letter count.
10:31 am
parsec

Hey, just dropping by to print the grid, so no time to do the stats. But if someone else wants to, the way I avoid seeing them is to squint while copying into a word document, then change the font to wingdings. That way I can count starting symbols without reading the words.
10:32 am
sprite

I have this so far, one missing:
A x5
E x13
G x16
H x11
M x4
N x4
O x3
Q x7
R x15
S x10
T x25
Y x3

Total 116.

Parsec, that is brilliant!

Found it, I forgot a plural. The list needs one more T.
