But then-again, by total happenstance-I end up finishing the puzzle up top (very uncommon), and this means that I-again, accidentally)-saved the best for last: the hidden LAMB! MORA ( L AMB) IGUITY / (LAMB) ORGHINI is just a fantastic crossing on its own, but when you add the hidden "LAMB," I think it's really magical, and a fantastic place to have the entire puzzle come into view. That is, in fact, what is happening in this puzzle: SHEEP are in the BLACK. I actually hit the revealer next, BLACK SHEEP, which, yeah, solid. I still had half the grid to go and I'd already had two "ahas." But again, I did not know the big picture: what's the revealer going to be? where are the other sheep hiding and what could they possibly be!? The answers to both questions came as genuine delights. I weirdly wasn't even thinking "sheep." I love when crosswordese (EWE!) gets upgraded to Special Element in a puzzle. The chub is distributed throughout most of northern Eurasia It is most abundant in small rivers and large streams in the " barbel zone " where there are riffles and pools. It can grow to 60 cm standard length but most fish are around 30 cm. The dorsal fin has 3 spines and 7-9 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 7-10 rays. The tail is dark brown or black, the dorsal fin is a greyish-green in colour and all the other fins are orange-red. Its body is long and cylindrical in shape and is covered in large greenish-brown scales which are edged with narrow bands of black across the back, paling to golden on the flanks and even paler on the belly. It is a stocky fish with a large rounded head. This species is referred to as the common chub, European chub, or simply chub. It frequents both slow and moderate rivers, as well as canals and still waters of various kinds. Squalius cephalus is a European species of freshwater fish in the carp family Cyprinidae. Word of the Day: CHUB ( 56D: Cousin of a carp).
