Puzzle of the Week 8
« on: March 07, 2011, 12:08:03 PM »
PM me the answer.  Do not post it here.


Puzzle #8 (3/7/11)

Send the answer by Friday.  This is a regular week.  The scoring will be regular.  


Use each letter of the alphabet exactly once in this grid.  Four letters have already been placed.  The clue in random order are as follows:  face card; await settlement; plow animal; urban decay; fetus home; heavens; Roman V; onyx, e.g.



And no, "Thunder3Davis" is not the answer to "plow animal", as studly as he may be...
