First, here are the clues to last week’s puzzle:
1. certain
2. deceptions
3. strong forward movements 4. price
5. person who goes ahead to look
6. woos 7. stock, sports, and police
8. studies at the last minute
9. cold, sour, and whipped 10. Ephron
11. large house
12. legendary le Fay 13. old, hard, and high
14. warms up
15. plays unfairly 16. urgent
17. bicyclist
18. Las Vegas player 19. Alaska city
20. shade of yellow
21. lacking humor 22. cause of illness
23. come together
24. scanty 25. prompted
26. two
27. lessen
In these puzzles, clues come in groups which form rows. In this case there were 3 answers per row.
Each answer in a row has all the letters of the previous answer in that row, plus one new letter. The new letters form columns, and what they spell out is the answer to the puzzle. Here’s the answer grid:
sure S ruses G surges cost U scout R courts cars M crams E creams Nora M manor G Morgan hats E heats C cheats dire R rider A Raider omen L lemon S solemn germ E merge A meager cued E deuce R reduce
As you can see in the first row, RUSES contains all the letters of SURE, plus an S which was written into the column between SURE and RUSES, and SURGES contains all the letters of RUSES, plus a G which was written into the column between RUSES and SURGES. When all the answers and add-on letters have been entered correctly into the grid, the add-on columns spell out SUMMERLEE and GREGCASAR — which, when correctly capitalized and spaced, read Summer Lee and Greg Casar.

If you have any questions or comments about the puzzle, I’ll check the comment section at least once a day during the coming week so please don’t hesitate to post any comment you’d like to make; I’ll see it within a day and answer as best I can.
Comments expressing your thoughts about Summer Lee and Greg Carar are also very welcome — usually I include information about the spotlighted candidates and the things they stand for in these diaries, but unfortunately don’t have time to do that this week.
But Poll Cat insists that there’s time to include a quick poll, so I’ll turn things over to Poll Cat:
Poll Cat asks:
What’s your favorite type of cat?
