remember to include ‘the’ in film titles that have them or the counting of letters will be wrong e.g The silence of the lambs, not Silence of the lambs.

Edited

? Director of film in that

Some of the letters would be wrong though?

user1471538275 · 09/12/2025 09:56

Director of the film in that genre?

user1471538275 · 09/12/2025 09:57

possibly the Director of the SImpsons movie?

David Silverman

user1471538275 · 09/12/2025 10:02

or possibly Director of the film in that entry? Which would beg the question - which entry? No numbers to help us guess

PurpleCat88 · 09/12/2025 10:30

I think picture 20 with homer as a baby in a bubble, is 2001:a space odyssey. Does that change things?

PurpleCat88 · 09/12/2025 10:33

PurpleCat88 · 09/12/2025 10:33

There are more letters in the answers than grid spaces available.

Florida theme park - Epcot?

I think the answers run into each other e.g. OHIO AND IODINE - OHIODINE, and EPCOT + COTE D'IVOIRE = EPCOTEDIVOIRE

Maybe. Haven't tried shoehorning them in the grid yet!

Oh! I knew it would never be simple, but hadn't gotten there yet!

My first year seeing this and I'm enjoying it!

Thank you for sharing!

The lyricist is Ira Gershwin I think.

Some are blending into each other really well - others don't look right!
