NY Times average 3.9 and Wordlebot in 4.

First six in a LONG time, thanks to reuse of an answer in MCH, with two possible answers NOT have been used. Had to use an elimination word to determine the final answer among three possible previously used answers.
Phew indeed!

[Liberal In Texas]

19. Yet not in Rock Paper Shotgun.

I really think they're taking the previous answers out when they win a 2nd time.

You think you’ll get a 2, but lucky to get 6

[10 Turtle Day]

13. Frustrating how such a promising start can go south so quickly!

I’ve been there, gleefully rubbing my hands together in anticipation of a 2-fer, only to hang on by my fingernails for a 6 on the same puzzle.

30. Great cartoon!

My oldest son--the one who decided not to go to college --is a software engineer for android phones. He's doing very well for himself.

[Liberal In Texas]

34. Thnx.

Glad your son has a decent job and it sounds like the kind of job that will be around for a while.
