I knew I was in trouble after getting six non-game words without a clue as to what today’s theme was about.
A hint gave me OLIVE, but it took me a little while to twist it into a word despite it being just five letters long. At this point I thought the search must be for hors d’oeuvres and fancy party snacks.
After getting CHERRY I finally got it and worked my way around the board gathering other cocktail fancies, including the spectacular spangram in the shape of a cocktail glass – chin, chin.
