A wonderful workout. Plodded away to get the first 75%, then a night’s sleep provided the needed rest to complete this gem. Rows 7-9 were the last to fall. Even used the “letters outside the boxes” to help finish. Thanks, Patrick.

I had fun with this one too! I like this format, working the boxes against the rows.
