Whoa. Thanks so much for all the votes, folks, and for the funky clips, jono. Wiff waff is new to me.

The eclipse is supposed to be 94% here in Massachusetts, but I’m heading up to our island house in Penobscot Bay where it’ll be considerably closer to totality.

Happy birthday, Paul!

Hi Paul, it’s just the animal characters from the Owl and Pussy-cat by Edward Lear are hidden at either ends of the words.

CAnT, OWn goaL, PIng-ponG. So the fourth in the sequence had to be a word with “turkey” at either end. I think TURnKEY is the only one.

That’s brilliant! I was way out / I was merely referring to the nonsensical offerings of Lear and EE Cummings as a descriptor of your April 1st intro….

That’s funny, when you mentioned Lear I thought you must have cracked it having only seen the first two words!

Tutor Key would also have been an acceptable answer!
