I've been doing the above puzzle daily since it was advertised on here. For the umpteenth time, having 4 correctly placed letters and with 2 or 3 possible solutions, i have gone alphabetically. And, for the umpteenth time, the solution was the last one selected. Took me 5 attempts again. Talk about frustrating:-(
Just because the New York Times have bought the puzzle does not necessarily mean we will have to pay for it in future.

Don't know about you over there, LottiePat but here it's those pesky little Leprechauns hiding in the corners of the house and reporting on us.... ;-)
Dave says it's to do with Cookies....but he's wrong..... it's the Leprechauns!
