The Hall of Fire

You are welcome Inanna! Which opening word is that? The most common letters used in American English words are: E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S, L, & C. Mileage may vary depending upon what list you use. In the past I have started with SLATE, STALE, STARE, SOARE, or SALET but I often had issues choosing ...

Inanna, I found the clue puzzling as well. I'll give you another clue.

I don't have satellite service/don't listen to Howard Stern's show, but from interviews I've seen, he's gone through therapy and he's not quite the 'shock jock' he once was.

I never answer the phone if I don't know who is calling. I don't answer for several reasons; One, yes polling takes too long.

Oh, no po-tay-toes?

To be fair, I haven't been particularly keeping up with the trial other than what I've been reading here and I'd heard about Trump's sleepiness and odor issues and I had no idea/was wondering what was being referred to although it is a little TMI.

Either I'm having a really horrible game day or there is something wrong with the Waffle puzzle today.
