For those that know me, it won’t be surprising to hear that this one started with CHOO CHOO TRAIN. The entry & clue popped into my head one night building tracks and bridges with my oldest child. Now we’ve got another toddler which means double the CHOO CHOO TRAIN fun! I’m always a wee bit nervous when opening up the preview after not thinking about a puzzle for a while. Happy to see that clue made it through editing, and shout-out to the editing team for their nice misdirects on STAMP and MISTS.
