What a perfect time to share your great Earthrise Scrabblegram!
I actually made one about the first Artemis launch, and I believe this is when I learned that you were a fan of Peanuts and Snoopy. ππππ₯π₯
Behold! @lowdowncryptic.bsky.social has outdone himself with another fantastic Scrabblegram (which includes a "reverse transcription" piece of DNA inside). π§¬π
Is "and revolutionized" a cryptic clue for DNA?
Thanks, Lowdown. Love your DNA sequel 'gram!
My wife's dad was a geneticist, and their cats' names over the years have included Watson, Crick, and Franklin. :)
Wow, this one is outstanding. Such a smooth and well-constructed Scrabblegram! Great theme too, worthy of its own entry. π§¬ππ§¬ππ§¬π
Thanks so much, Lowdown! Wishing you a widespread-chaotic "pray when" too. π (I've missed your letterbank magnificence)
Brilliant! (and even gettable for an old Gen X guy) ππ

Thanks, Bernd! Great to see you here.
Big thanks to both Steve Geller (my long-time wordplay editor and friend) and Steven Fraser (my palindromist hero / friend) for their very helpful input over the past week.
Critical feedback is welcomed, as I'm still open to tweaking this (before submitting it for "SymmyS" consideration).
Reflective Rose - inspired by The Little Prince I'm a rose, yes, or am I? Rosy-awed, I smiled at, I craftily admired lost lovers. Sent I was, a pure veneer, Felt sacred β now red, now redder still... A flare! Tall autumn robe regalia. Fireworks! I rail, I toss, I tier. It is all a field arcadian, a dopamine dragonβs eye. Cindery burn-ups β warming is Eden. If a fox I made with gilded light, I wed a mix of a fine design. Iβm raw-spun, ruby-red nice. Yes? No garden β Iβm a pod, an aid, a cradle. I fall as I tire. It is so. βTil I, a risk-rower, I fail β age reborn. Mutual lateral fall, it's redder, "Wonder! Wonder! Castle-free!" Never up as a witness revolts. Older, I'm daylit. Far citadel, I'm sidewaysβ¦ Or I'm a rose. Yes, or am I?

REFLECTIVE ROSE (a palindrome)πΉ
Hello, wordplay friends! I miss you all, hope everyone is well.
I'm still mostly off of social media, but wordplay is meant to be shared. Here is a new palindrome (a revision / expansion of one I toyed with a couple of years ago).
Enjoy. π

Outstanding yet again, Lowdown. Very well done.
I love it! π΄ππ
This is amazing timing. I was very much thinking of you last night with nostalgic fondness (and by that I mean all four of you), with a specific nod to Nat - either tomorrow or the next day I'm planning to post floral-themed wordplay (not a Scrabblegram).
Hope all of you are well!!!
Thanks, Lowdown! Your new 'gram today is sensational.
My goodness, I missed this way back...sorry about that! Yes, all is well. I've fully retired from 'gramming (for now). Miss you guys. π
Wow, one of my all-time favorites of yours! Fantastic. π π» π
Was actually planning to reach out to you out of the blue (no pun intended) either tonight or tomorrow for baseball reasons...go Jays! π¦ βΎ π¨π¦
V.edgy! Hope you're doing well, thanks for the kind words. βΊοΈπ
How nice of you to share this Lowdown, thanks! It remains the last one I ever made. ππ
So good! I remember appreciating that one before, great to see it again today. Hope you're doing well, Lowdown!
A classic! Just seeing this now, as we were off the grid in Alaska when you posted it...ended up in your country for the first time and thought of you (even though it was Vancouver rather than Toronto). βΊοΈπ
Hope you've been well, Lowdown.
Thank you, Larry! Much appreciated. ππ
I thought you were just making sure that Hasbro / Mattel couldn't go after you for copyright infringement. π
I take urban flowers to join me in wishing poet Dave, excellent source of quite amazing devious wordplay, a great birthday π₯³π@dcscrabblegram.bsky.social #Srabblegram
Perfect in every way. I'm sincerely touched...you're the best, Nat! π₯° ππ
Awesome! (and appropriate that I'm seeing this on a Saturday) π π π
Wonderful! Thanks for your support, for supporting Penteract Press, and for teaching me a new word today. π
Thank you Bernd, and v.edgy too! You guys are the best. I miss the grammunity! ππ
