Oh, crap!

I just realized I wrote a clue for the wrong king of Spain. I was supposed to write a clue for Charles IV!

Sorry. I wish I could get through one game without screwing up something.

THAT's where Goya fits. I was trying really hard to make it work. Whew.

Yes, that was a beautiful one and very satisfying to puzzle out!

LOVE this one almost as much as the Frank - Norman Mailer one.

I was trying to figure out the Charles / Carlos thing for this.

Whew, indeed.

Does this wrap it up?

I thought Crashaw might be a bit obscure for this.

100. RICHARD Nixon + CRASHAW (Car Wash) = 96. Thomas Aquinas

then I remembered Dit Clapper.

This was a wonderful (and much-needed) diversion for me. Thank you very much, Frank.

Also loved it, Frank.

Maybe it's because I am slow on anagrams but I love seeing others figure them out so quickly.

I had promised myself not to do another anagram-based game until I could come up with a new twist. I'm glad people enjoyed it even after the Tangredi was solved early.
