Constructor comments: We were attracted to the source of this puzzle's quote as it offers a whimsical approach to solving global problems. But we suggest that solvers not attempt this particular acrostic on an empty stomach!
Looking ahead, we are considering the launch of a new blog dedicated to these acrostics, to help fill the void created when Caitlin Lovinger's blog went on hiatus. We are hoping to recreate a community for acrostics enthusiasts. Stay tuned!
Congratulations! You solved the acrostic. |
