I am dismayed fast food napkins and old receipts were not stuffed in there.

I found the spanagram as the first word. The X drew my eye and I saw box. My go to would be glove compartment but I know glove box also. I saw title then. Old enough to remember having maps there and atlas is close enough. Flares would be in the trunk and quarter is kind of random.

Needed the hint to get started. Like I was stuck in traffic jam.

“No way!”
:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle:
:large_blue_circle::yellow_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle:

Took awhile to get started, for real.

I lost patience and gave up. The Mrs. and I got our flu and COVID shots last night, so I’ve got a bit of achy body and short attention span this morning.

:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::yellow_circle::large_blue_circle: Tough spanagram. I saw hoax early on and many other words but could not see it until there was almost nothing left. It didn’t help that I spotted scam and thought it was a word but it required the s from the spangram and the m from sham.

“Got any bleu cheese?”

I could not remember the name Cobb but knew that’s what that had to be the theme, and I never realized how vinaigrette was actually spelled.

:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle: Easy one today. I saw eggs right away then bacon. I had one for lunch last week. :slightly_smiling_face:

Backup came quickly. But safes, safeword weren’t doing it and needed help to get going again.

I too got backup and safes first, but it clicked for me as security in one form or another has been my profession for about three decades.

I felt like I was a freshman in high school once again, got lost looking for homeroom.

Went from the corner office to the foyer, then wandered around the rest of the rooms
