Dennis Nedry is unlocked upon completion of the Welcome to Jurassic Park Story level but you will still have to purchase him for 100,000 studs before you can use him. To unlock this trophy/achievement it seems
A "revealer" entry is often necessary to create an a-ha moment for solvers, but sometimes these still don't clear up the theme for everyone. I bet some won't understand why DEAR JOHN LETTERS ties everything together, so I've highlighted the special letters below. Get it? HOLLYWOOD ENDIN...
I was trying to place NONOS in the lower right corner, but I couldn't get it to work. It wasn't until I played with putting it in the center that I came up with the idea of splitting it into NO and NO, thereby not only creating impermissibly short entries, but also impermissi...
I didn’t understand it advertise a canned soda received a cup of soda (germs)… Lisa Mattingly Review collected in partnership with this restaurant Sep 2019 Our quality of food was great! Service, not so much. Took server over 15 mins to even just greet us. After we got our food...

I wish there were some unifying factor that tightened up the theme, though. Been a long time since I've heard tongue-twisters, and I did appreciate that all of these were new to me. It was surprisingly fun to (try to) say REAL RARE WHALE five times fast. I thought I'd have no ...
This puzzle has a pretty unusual set of theme entries: two 12's, two 13's and two 14's. The sensible thing would be to blow it up to a Sunday size, but the theme felt thin for that, and the next best entry I could think of was BUTLER AND O'HARA. So after much fiddling, I...
She has a knack for coming up with interesting themes and colorful fill. I had a tough time with "Name That Theme" today, partially because I couldn't remember which clues were starred. That's one problem with mixed horizontal/vertical themers — was AIRSPEED involved somehow? Take a ...
