Today’s Wiki-est Amazonian Googlies

I have been dealing with some unanticipated health issues over the past couple of days. As a result, I was very late getting to today’s puzzle, and to this abbreviated post. I will get to the full post just as soon as I can.

Apologies, and thank you for your understanding.

  1. 10:08, no errors. Had to find/fix ELI(A)/RACK(A)T.

    @Bill: sorry to hear about your health issues, wishing the best for you.

  6. 17 min, no errors

    Thinking of you Bill.

    KINESTHESIA caused me to pause, and second guess my crossses.

  7. You never need to apologize for taking care of yourself, Bill. Hope you are feeling better.

    4:14, no errors for me on this one.

    1. @Glenn – I lost my bookmark for your channel. Could you please re-post it?

      @Bill – hang in there and get well soon!

      1. @Lou lu
        I decided to quit doing the recordings (the back end of that was taking too much time in the long run), so I deleted the channel.

  8. A little slow for a Tuesday, but ultimately no errors.

    Take care of yourself, Bill.

  9. One error – KINEST?ESIA crossed with K?AN. Didn’t know either word. Guessed wrong.

    @Bill – get well soon
