Happy Tuesday! We had lots of replies to yesterday's newsletter puzzle, though many weren't quite right. The most popular incorrect answer was REIGNING IN FRIZZ, which would perhaps have been correct if we had asked about a fuzzy-headed monarch (and had an extra letter slot available).But the correct answer was: REINING IN FRIZZ. Shoutout to three of our correct solvers: James Penha, temporarily in Manhattan, NY; Lauren Shoom in Thornhill, ON; and Thierry Kakouridis-Torres in Marseille, France. Thanks to everyone who wrote in!
