Again, just list the A, B, and C variations and you'll see it right away.

I've got all 12 words written down in formation and still can't see the link aristo, am I being really stupid here, I've read them across and down and still don't see it.
Do I read all theme B words in order of Theme B - A, B, C? or read all the A's across then all the B's and then all the C's

I'm going insane mate

Syzzie,

I'm gonna end up in a jacket with extra long arms if you send me another one like that.

Thanks pal, Les

WOW !

This one really stirred up a hornet's (bee's ? *) nest.
Great. I'm glad you found it challenging.

Aristo, thanks for stepping into the breach & giving such good hints. I've been working late.
Also, you found a more solid theme for "A" (37A) than I did. Mine was Ohio cities. Oddly enough, that also works.

Looks as if it's all sorted. Well done.
I'll post my solution in a couple of days, in case someone else is still working on it.

Les, don't you still have that jacket from before? (-;
You might need it for the next one.

* I've been teasing about the Bee puzzle, but thought this one should go first as it's current. Send it in. You could win a subscription.

I'll do the Bee after the JE is done.

Good night & good morning.

Hi Syzzie,

Interesting about the Ohio cities, I wonder if the setter knew that?
Thanks again Syzzie for the puzzle, and Yes! I am collecting jackets from now on.

Thanx 4 the confirmation, Syzygy: I'd already sent it off anyway, but that's comforting! I didn't know about the ho-daddies -- did everybody else?!

Weird coincidence with the Spectator 2061 theme, nicht wahr?
