I was about to post Cryptics [Cry+(o)ptics] but you beat me to it. It fits alright. But mourning was not right. S/b mourn.indophile wrote:Okay chuck it. I declare that the set is solced.

Re: THURSDAY CRYPTICS 8/15/13
"Mourning" for "Cry" seems okay. It's the second part where I was having a problem. In any event, please go ahead and post your set tomorrow, or even tonight so BW could solve some.
