I don't know which userpic to use...

OK, so I thought I had the secret message. (Saw the diagonal, missed the initial letters on the clues; ascribed the unusual feel of the clues to the idea that Will would give Merl more leeway stylistically.) Loved the Wordplay music and split-screen effects. Was bugged by the unchecked letters in some of the big-board puzzles, but am wondering how many of the puzzles that we glimpsed were previously published and how many were new grids constructed for the episode. I assume Merl will regale us (so to speak) with the details.

Curious about: why the Hyatt and not the Marriott?

So I settled on my Simpsons userpic instead of my xword one for this post. :-)
