1. FETTLES is good. And while I'm learning new _ETTLES words, you can put a P there too. (They're both verbs.)
2. KNAUR is another way to spell KNAR/KNUR. And speaking of K words...
3. VAS takes a front hook of K. I knew that, but when VAS was on the board, for some reason my brain was too busy making sure I didn't try and make it AVAS*. Anyone have a tip for getting myself to find the possible hooks on the board, especially less ordinary ones? I have a bad habit of completely whiffing on them, even when I know them.
4. I knew the other two _ELIC words, but not MELIC. (adjective, pertaining to a song)
5. Don't know if I knew BRIO. Challenged off BRIO/I(MAN)*. There's a Brio Cosmetology Academy here in town that I deliver to all the time, so it's ironic that I didn't ever look the word up.
6. There are quite a few ordinary words I need to add to my cardbox, because I don't see them on a rack. PATIO is one of them.
7. DEOTUZ? has an anagram; I've seen it but never studied it. Missed it.
8. TRIFE* is not a word. I didn't play the phony front hook to RIFE, but was tempted. It may be because I've heard it in the song Bada Bing by DANGERDOOM, which is an album you should listen to if you like hip-hop and don't mind a little bleeped-out profanity.
