Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we bring you the latest midi from roster member Carina da Rosa. It's a 13x11 titled "That's What She Said." We think you'll enjoy how this puzzle manages to be light-hearted and educational at the same time.

Carina says: "The OED was my BFF on this one. Jane Austen alone coined a TON of terms, so you can thank her for your nice-looking dessert spoon and coffee urn. Some other gems that didn't make their way into this cough grueling-to-construct cough grid: thigh-slapping (Virginia Woolf), outside job (Agatha Christie), and raised eyebrows (Charlotte Brontë). When it comes to this puzzle, I'll quote another wise woman in my life (aka, my soon-to-be mother-in-law), 'If you didn't like it, well … better luck next time!'"

Happy solving!
