Grid was a cinch, and then I got as close as the answer substrings outside the foods: NUTM EEK S LING HAL AY ONS GLER AH EO. And I knew from Pardon My English that I was looking for 10 letters, but couldn't quite make those ends meet.

Exact same here. This meta was two-star easy...once you figured out the mechanism. Figuring out the mechanism, that's the five-star part.

Greetings--a brief belated report on a holiday week. A strong turnout for a clever contest that (in our view) was a bit harder than average but drew an impressive accuracy rate: 1744 responses, about 75% correct (right around our weekly average). Lots of near misses circling around the nut of the matter: CRACKING THE SHELL (20), CRACKING IT (7), CRACKING THE CODE (5), CRACKING UP (2), and several others along those lines.

Congrats to this week's winner: Bill Hughes of Valencia, Calif. Happy July!

Thank god it’s Wednesday!
