I'm surprised that there were only 900 low-fat entries this week. As this week's guess, I'll take 550.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Lindsay Graham is dead but Mitch McMcConnell is "alive." What a way to start a Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteThird time's the charm.
DeleteHmmm, Dr. K, who will it be, who will it be?

DeleteOn air, Will said that the TV series had a two-word title.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've updated the wording but I'm still waiting for a link to the puzzle that aired.
DeleteI think I have it. But a clue?
ReplyDeleteGood one. I think I can see a connection to last week’s puzzle. Hope everyone is enjoying the thrilling World Cup this month.

DeleteMea culpa.
DeleteI don’t know anything about TV series, but I was surprised to find this show as a subject on a podcast I listened to this morning as I did weights. Remove the first two and the last two letters from the show, rearrange, and you get a container.
ReplyDeleteRob - it seems we listen the same podcasts.
DeleteRemove the second letter, rearrange a bit, and get a possible synonym for a famous home.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! But be sure to start with the TV show, not the country.
DeleteRight. Thanks for the clarification, Lancek.
DeleteOh goody, an anagram of a tv series, what could be more fun than that?
ReplyDeleteOkay I have it, but I'm not going to rack my brain for a good hint. Maybe one will just come to me.

ReplyDeleteThere's a local version of the series coming to the country.
ReplyDeleteThe NPR Sunday Puzzle Page still hasn't been updated.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Just listened to last week's offering where the winner says she has 5 grandchildren, does geneology, and plays puzzles. Will's retort "I like how you collect things." Did he mean "collecting grandchildren" is a thing?
DeleteThat"s weird phrasing about one's kin, if so.
I am collecting photos of my pup in many places (including a Nebraska cornfield at sunrise -' in my thumbnail) but I would not say I have collected Maizie, Bruno, and now, Maxx.
I have two children but they are not in any "collection."
Weird. Just weird to me.
The new puzzle is up now.
DeleteRemove the first and last letters from the second word of the TV show, rearrange the remaining letters to spell something read rather than watched. Appropriate for me, who’s never owned a TV.
ReplyDeleteThe team from this country did not qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is similar to a lot of recent puzzles.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I found with 10 letters was if I didn't include the?
ReplyDeleteNever mind....I finally cheated and used AI, so I won't submit the answer... I should say that this a series I NEVER would have watched. I hated the title.
ReplyDeleteYes, especially in view of things along the same line.
DeleteThis puzzle was a bit slippery, for sure. --Margaret G.
ReplyDeleteThe two words in the show title appear in the titles of two shows that used to air back-to-back. (I'd never heard of the show. I solved it working backwards from Blaine's hint.)
