23rd! Great puzzle sammydb!

Fun!

15th, 19th and 17th tonight. Not too shabby.

You were the 49th Tanga member to solve it.

A little lost on the theme...salt please?

66th Tanga member to solve it.

It wasn't until clue #7 when it finally clicked with me! That was fun, thanks Sammydb!

79th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 42 points for solving this. - Two top 100's and STU badge!

I wasn't getting why my answers weren't taking. Then figured it out. I totally used an alternate spelling for #4, even though the alternate didn't fit the theme. Stupit.

Have to admit I've never heard of #3.

[5] I got it from Clue #4. Find just one clue that you can make sense of. Describe what you're seeing.

Thanks [12].

the 139th Tanga member to solve it. Took 5min to understand the theme. Brilliant.

isn't #4 missing half it's mass?

[15] That's what I was going to say...

[15][16] Ditto.

[15] [16] Yep, that should be 2000 lbs.

Fun! My 19 month old was saying the letters for me. :)

My first time being able to get 20 points - woohoo! I really liked this one anyway -- very clever!

Almost missed that "N" in #5 there.

Once I got the theme it was a breeze. Very clever clues and fun to say what I was seeing and see what the word was.

Yeah! Best part was, I got my radish!

Thanks, [12]; that one did it for me, too.

#3 gave me trouble, only because I'd never heard of the word before.

Wow, really easy once I finally saw the theme. I'll blame it on it being #7

Two thumbs up for a nice AHA!

I liked it, simple yet fun.

Took me a minute (or ten) but I got there. Nice one.

I'm still lost on the theme. And who is the person in #7?? I give up.

[28] google "actress doris" and watch the autocomplete give you the most requested fill in.

For the theme, the title gives a clue. But the best clue comes from looking at the words you already have. study then and see what they all have in common.

wow.. didn't get it the first time, had no idea. and now it seems so simple

Still confused as I was when I started.....

Clue #3 seems to be a pretty obscure word... Enjoyed it otherwise :)

[29] I don't know how you'd "already have" any answers without figuring out the theme first. IMO, you have to work it out from the puzzle title.

In case it helps someone bootstrap, the answer to Clue #1 is the capital of an English speaking country.

so cute!!!

Finally got it! Very clever.

Clever....took me a few minutes before the theme clicked....but once it clicks, it is a nice aha.
