SPANGRAM: COBBSALAD

My score: Reasonable
My rating: Excellent

I presume there is perhaps a break up between folks within the US and people in the remainder of the world right here. Or possibly it is solely me that had not likely heard of a COBBSALAD and due to this fact struggled to unravel this one. I used to be additionally very confused by the theme clue of ‘Received any bleu cheese?’, which made me assume it was one thing French – as a result of in any other case why is it spelled ‘bleu’ and never ‘blue’. So the entire thing was a bit baffling.

I solved it in the long run, nevertheless it was actually only a case of trial and error. I noticed BACON early on, and CHICKEN too, so I noticed it was a food-themed puzzle. The others took me some time to seek out, and getting the spangram was totally based mostly on there being nothing else it may very well be by the point that I bought it. Not probably the most satisfying recreation for me – although if you understand and like Cobb Salad (which to me sounds disgusting) then possibly you will have been high-quality with it. Ho hum.
