Good morning and a happy Be More Paranoid Day which I’m not feeling at all. Maybe as the day progresses.🙂

Thank you, Jasdip. I think I have them all. The bonus seems too easy. I’ll think some more on it.

Good morning! This is a repeat from 6/30/21 but fortunately my memory isn’t good so it’s almost like a new puzzle for me!

Yeah, no. I had more inclined -- tj, I didn't get your hint, and hopefully nobody followed mine either (to a greater extent, apt...) - ha! Good one, Jasdip -- you fooled us all!

No guesses yet but JUST figured out what wuzzles means! 🫢 (I’ve noted the word on these posts before, but never gave it thought beyond that.)

A happy Octopus Enjoyment Day to all. An octopus here has been losing legs. He became a septopus, hexapus… monopus, and now maybe just morphed into an Easter chick? I guess around here Octopus Enjoyment means enjoying octopi, not octopi enjoying themselves.

I don't have D1 or the bonus. I might attempt the bonus this time.

C'mon, FOAS! You mean to tell us you can remember the date a puzzle was posted, but you can't remember the answers?

Think I have all but the bonus (so what else is new.)

I have the puzzle but only a guess for the bonus but that at least is better than usual.

Well, I have all but A1 and D2…wait, just got D2 when I glanced back to get the row letter!

So, A1 and bonus still to go.

Edit: now just the bonus!

I didnt have a guess for D1 (wish I had read the letters instead of ’in’) and for D2 I had the beginning of love or inside of a glove. Nothing for the bonus either.

Out of curiosity, how is the word 'redoubled' used? Isn't it an oxymoron in itself? I don't think I've ever heard it used, or read it anywhere, either.

You can 'redouble' your efforts, to get the job done.

I know it as a bridge term.

eta

“Some bridge opponents don’t like to be doubled — and they can respond by redoubling, telling you that they think you’ve made a colossal mistake by making a penalty double (the nerve of you). One of your opponents can redouble. If three passes follow the redouble, the deal is sealed — the side that made the last bid is playing a redoubled contract.”

I've heard of doubling your efforts, etc., but redoubling? ? ? Maybe a term not common everywhere.

And I am not familiar with bridge terms at all. But thanks to both of you for the explanations.
