ANSWERS: Wonder Twins

My 350th puzzle from two weeks ago (dubbed "Wonder Twins") proved to be an instant hit, as eighteen people successfully solved it since then, as you can see in the list below:

  • Grant Fikes
  • Cindy Heisler
  • Giovanni Pagano
  • Joe Bernard
  • Kevin Orfield
  • Sam Levitin
  • Meg Duvall
  • Karen Spencer
  • Wendy Walker
  • Tamara Brenner
  • Mom
  • Tyler Hinman
  • Patrick Jordan
  • Mindy Moore
  • Michael Lebowitz
  • Lynn Sweeney
  • Peter Abide
  • Dan Simonds
Now head below the break for the answers as well as a few solvers' comments!



The letters that are identical in both grids spell out JET FORCE GEMINI


Solver Wendy Walker said "Fun puzzle, thanks! I had some trouble with the NE corner."

By contrast, solver Meg Duval admitted that she found it "A bit on the easy side, but still fun.  Thanks."

Patron Grant Fikes cheekily added an extra space in his entry (so it read "JET FORCE GE MINI"), then said "I remember this game! It was made to advertise the new General Electric mini fridge. Sadly, it will always live in the shadow of other advergames such as Chex Quest and Pepsi Invaders. It's a lot easier to convince your average gamer to buy cheap food and drink items than a household appliance."
