Posting latest puzzle for Brian:

Hello solvers! There's a new contest puzzle from Fill Me In. This puzzle is Abide-rated at 2.25 bananas. (Bananas has nothing to do with the puzzle, it's just a 1-to-5 scale we made up.)

The puzzle is called "Take a Break" and was constructed by Norah Sharpe. The solution to the puzzle is a common four letter word.

The crossword can be downloaded from here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6ak3autbknv3 ... n.puz?dl=1You're welcome to solve, you're even welcome to join in the chatter about the puzzle -- but if you want to be eligible for a prize, you have to listen to the podcast for this week's password. The podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, our own website https://bemoresmarter.libsyn.com/fill-m ... in-sconces, or wherever you collect your podcasts.

Once you've solved the puzzle, submit your answer and this week's password by email to fmi@bemoresmarter.com. You can also contact us with any suggestions, questions, comments, or ideas. Thanks for playing along!

Meta solved, podcast played, password googled (to figure out how to spell it), and email sent. So I’d say that banana is peeled, split, and covered with ice cream.

Nice one, Norah!

Is there a solution available for this one in text/visual form? Thanks! Perhaps I'll look at it some more while I'm looking at 319....

The answer was TIME.

You can put the word time in the “break” between the two words in each theme answer and have a phrase on either side

Game time & time clock
Show time & time piece
Limited time & time release
Full time & time frame
Over time & time share
