Oh my word...

You're supposed to put them in the actual crossword.
Too bad. :)

[aurabble]

Sorry. Did I fluster you?

Oh! You mean like this?

[acrostic]

No.

Like that, yes. Do complete it first.
You may have spelt one wrong.

[aurabble]

Then stop whining.

But I like your encouragement.
Wow only one?

[acrostic]

Whining?

I'm not going to give you hints.

[offwithhishat]

Goodness. You put quite a bit of effort into this game, didn't you?

[text]

[acrostic]

Not really. It's far too easy.

[text]

[offwithhishat]

Should have guessed you'd say that. I think you're going to put the populace at shame at this rate.

[text]

[acrostic]

I already have several times but thank you for believing in me.

Are you going to attempt it?

[text]

[offwithhishat]

True, true. I can't argue facts.

That is the question. If I do attempt it I might fall short of expectation, but if I don't then I'll look like a fool automatically. You've put my reputation at stake either way. I could have gotten away with it if I hadn't engaged you. This was just a clever trap all along.

Actually, I'm just trying to figure out if I can work it into my schedule or not. Keeping a household full of kids, animals and Pokemon in some semblance of order is already a pretty big puzzle. I might be able to fit yours in if I skip lunch.

[acrostic]

Quite the pickle you've put yourself in.

Aren't your kids fully capable of taking care of themselves and the animals for long enough to free up some time so you don't have to skip a meal?

[k2so]

I really liked number 7 and 21. And I admit I only know the Pokemon one because Dave got one of those.

[acrostic]

Glad you enjoyed them.

But I'm terribly sorry. Two of your answers are wrong.

[k2so]

I like crosswords and anything that keeps my mind occupied. Those were fun.

It happens. Can I know which ones?

[acrostic]

I thought you'd be among those who appreciated them.

1 & 12.

[k2so]

Why, thank you anon.

Thanks. I'll give it another try once I figure it out.

[k2so]

For number 1 there could be two options, either it's 'DEVOUR' or 'PIGOUT'. The first one seems to be more common.

As for 12...VIAL?

[acrostic]

Is that what you're going with?

Incorrect.

[whiteas]

There are one or two I'm not sure about but how is this?

text

[acrostic]

Good.
But one is not the answer I was looking for.

text

[whiteas]

It isn't 13 down is it?

[ "And" seems weird to her but unless her other answers are wrong, that's the only thing that fits and makes sense... ]

text

[acrostic]

It is not 13 down.

[ Surprise. ]

text

[whiteas]

Which one then? You said it's not the answer you were looking for specifically, so that means mine is technically right but not the expected solution, right?

[ She wants to be the rightest right. :T ]

[acrostic]

Depending on who you ask.
