Wide outstretched arms?? How about Open Arms? That was my guess! I think I like it better as words commonly used. You know, as in ”They were welcomed with open arms”. I think I should get at least half a chili dog! 🤣 ETA - roxsolid - sidearms means pistols or guns to me - but, the word does fit the wuzzle.

@murraysmom Zone 6a OH - No, Bran is not the answer - it’s Raisin Bran! The ”clue” is the raised N. That was the idea that ”floated” up to me after mulling it over most of my day. @roxsolid - my ’floated up’ comment could have been a hint but totally unintentional on my part. Regarding @foodonastump ’not a hint’ to floral but just ”state the possibility that she might not be familiar with it.” he was referring to Kellogg’s Sultana bran cereal - it’s what UK & Australia eat instead of Raisin Bran that US/Canada has. I had to look that point up. I had never seen the Will Shat commercial for Raisin Bran. That’s why I like these puzzles - I learn so many new things! Really! 😁

Wow. Never in a million would I get that one. I was trying to make a flower / rabbit /garden connection with rox’s clues. However, I did immediately figure out foas wasn’t calling anyone a name & meant to key in ”hints” not bints. It’s the Qwerty keyboard layout that tipped me off. Interesting that ’bints’ is an actual word for UK - I never heard it used anywhere I’ve been in US.

I’ll agree this is an easy one if / when my answer is deemed correct. I’ve been sucked into thinking “of course, what else could it be?“ and then found it was indeed something else! 😁
