      Expected, faux pas, foundling, sub-lunar, to be the last to fall.
      Thght Will come late and close. But a heavy sunday Brunch and sleep made me miss it.
      Bteezy one except for the "n" Deletion in red ring.
      Not as an adverb needs an auxillary verb.
      I am not sure if double duty is favored in crossies anymore but it would work for design on double duty. Both as anind and "design finally not used" as deletion.
