Rocco's Confessionals

I cannot believe how far ahead we are now but I’m very happy to be here wowza!! This leg was great tbh, just needed the crossword hint to get going.

People panicked too fast with the puzzle. It's a matter of starting to build it and eventually I feel like someone would have clued in all the cities didn't have those weird accents or what not. I do think it was hard, but I do think people got overwhelmed & gave up on themselves too easily

I had to break apart a list of towns and did it by # of letters. Then when you gave the first letter of each, I dropped them in and made sure it was a good order, did the first few by process of elimination. About 5 minutes in I was able to start guessing fills based off of "does it have a third letter that's A?" It's fun cause the H city (the last down one,) has two options that both work for it

Rocco is happy to be in first again this round. Rocco’s also happy that Elmo and Rocco have been first the most and have never left the top 3.

Rocco thinks we do alright today, but it will be close. With our penalty, we may have fallen back. We are not first but Rocco thinks we are not last because Elmo was really good at the rotating puzzle. Rocco hopes we stay in top 3 just for our record, but will be okay if we are fourth.
