  11. My first guess on word was was actually the answer to word two – I was on the right track from the start I guess!

  15. Thanks these are really fun. Would you consider putting the clue in the comments instead of the title? It’s sometimes too easy knowing the clue and I’d rather have the option to look or not look. Thanks for considering.

  16. 2 minutes 40 seconds! Once I figured out the last word it was instant realization.

    This took a few minutes, but I got it! :) Very nice, and the title clue helps.

    I’m delighted! This is my first time playing a puzzle on Autostraddle

  19. Hi-just as a heads up, I have an older phone with a smaller screen (iphone SE 2nd gen) and it cuts off the screen in a funky way where I can’t see the first row of words. It’s not a huge deal but wanted to bring it to attention if you didn’t know

  20. 52 secs! 💙

  25. Some days I stare and can’t even think of any word with the right number of letters, and some days it takes 15 seconds

  27. Great news re: Stone Butch Blues- it was recently reprinted! The link to buy copies is on Leslie’s website.

    & the link itself

    https://www.lulu.com/shop/leslie-feinberg/stone-butch-blues-20th-anniversary-author-edition/paperback/product-kjqzjj.html?page=1&pageSize=4

    I emailed my library a few weeks ago to suggest they get a copy and I guess they put it on hold for me because got an automated text this week that it arrived :’)

    • As soon as I got the first word <3
