I’m not saying today’s words were hidden in any particular STEALTH or COVERT way, but after putting on SHIFTY I went blank and asked our friend to get moving.
Today’s words can be interpreted in several opposing ways. The first is equally creepy; the kind of activities that a busybody or, worse yet, a voyeur might engage in. Alternatively, they can be viewed more positively as the kind of skills a military agent might employ in a covert operation (not that the Marines would probably call what they do ESCALATING!).
Today was also notable for an excellent spangram that backtracked on itself; congratulations if you saw it first.
