Puzzle Time!



Guest Post by New York Times Puzzle Editor Will Shortz

I get many requests from 8 year olds like this one.

"You are dead to me. Even if you made me a fun word puzzle, I would never love you, father!"

Well, Timmy, your wish is my command. Here is a word puzzle. Try to find the one word that is the secret message of all the clues.

Five Letter Word
"Uncommonly Good," said the Keebler Elf
Causes relief from death rattles
Knots up your stomach

Yesterdays' most popular Pop Hit
Over the Rainbow is not Dorothy's only tune
Umpires also "strike out"

Tonight Show Host, Steve Allen
"Ice" is slang for what drug?
Moose, not Bullwinkle
Manatee, not SeaCow
You are a dick, Timmy!

What is the secret message, Timmy, you are so f*cking smart?
