5/25 by Patrick. Has anybody finished this? I’m stuck on D2 and E2. Plus 2 corresponding medium blooms. I could use a bit of a hint.

Good to hear, Meg! My last obstacle was D1. Found my way out by using a word in the dark bloom that didn’t mean what I thought it meant (and a switcheroo in the first medium bloom).

Enjoyed this one. I got more of the blooms from scratch than I usually do, which helped a ton.

OK, with an assist from LesY, I was able to complete it. I've done the smaller versions of these in the NYT Sunday mag, but this was much more fun.
