Also, I kept having to endure stuff like ORDO (!?) and ECU. Honestly, I thought 'CHICA' was a musical and I thought SLINGS were young frogs and I thought maybe LD TEETH glowed in your mouth? Instead of 'AHA!' I kept emitting more of a low groan of unsureness. Unless they drowned and sank, which is terribly sad, like this puzzle. (GO)SLINGS are not *in* ponds, they are *on* them. I was going to make SLINGS the Word of the Day (seriously), because I figured it was some olde-timey term for baby frogs or something (?). How do you even know? Discovering them was painful and dreary, and honestly at the end, I didn't even know if I'd found them all. Where are the other 'GO's? Who can say? They aren't symmetrical. No, I don't know why I chose that metaphor, it just came to me, and it feels right. bleeping chaos!? It's like someone's just throwing wet socks at you. You've got the nice symmetrical long Acrosses, good, good, and then. Annnnnyway, the placement of the GOs was interesting, by which I mean ridiculous.
