For the second month in a row, Andrew is our puzzle winner. Good job! Most of the answers were figured out by at least one person. Castaway was a nice alternative answer to 15…which was better than the attempted James Bond character answer for 12. Ahem.

Use the five crossword style clues to find five people of note. They could be actors, authors, athletes, historical figures, etc.. It could be first name first, then last name or in reverse order. The resulting answer may need to be adjusted to match a real name as the clues may only lead to a phonetically correct answer or one slightly misspelled or shortened.

Example 1: Steal again? A: Rob Moore
Example 2: Additional Lowe footage? A: Moore, Rob

Each answer will be worth 2 points
Answers are due on July 14th

Little harder week it seems. No one received a perfect score and the bonus went undiscovered.

This week’s puzzle is another mish-mash of different types. Puzzles are due next Sunday. If you have a bonus answer(s), label them as such and send along with your puzzle solutions.

Oh, hey! I think I figured out the PDF problem, and you should all be able to type in this AND actually save it for sending back.

Good luck!

Okay. So it was definitely hard this week. I was more liberal with the scoring since multiple answers could work for the given clue.

Props to Tom, who came up with the answer that works for the two movies I had in mind for #4 on Movie Mash: “Dancing Dirty Dances with Wolves”. There were many variations I allowed here and for the #2 and #3.

Other answers that worked instead of Billie Holiday were Billy Idol (idle) and Billy Sunday.

My absolute favorite answer of the week, which I like better than mine and kept me giggling for awhile belongs to Matthew Gilman. For “Bee’s Behind” in Rhyme time Matthew answered “Honeymaker Moneymaker”.

We’re going to turn up the difficulty just a titch this week (I think).  This week’s puzzle is a mish-mash. I have created a PDF that you should be able to type your answers right into. Otherwise, feel free to send me an email with the answers typed in or a scan. There are 25 points possible (it’s on two pages, don’t miss that second one). Remember, if you have a bonus answer, label it as such. Puzzles are due Sunday at 9 p.m. CST.
