Very nice Biotop, I think I’ll post a few of my own puzzles after reading this thread.

**Munch** , a little trip would be nice to our 50th state!

Friend **MonkeyMensch** , thank you very much! Send out similar kind words any time.

Excellent examples of puzzles, **Ben Hicks** , are especially popular here with the ladies.

Have to run now. A&E has a special coming on tonight about puzzle solving wolves…

Silence on my part may be taken to mean that I haven’t got it, quite. Save for one, they all behave as Biotop’s explanation would lead me to expect. However, that smiley one just won’t unravel for me, even after a hot meal and a soak in the tub.

“Sleep might help,” she mutters, as up the stairs she lumbers…

Unwashed vs soiled – I intended it another way, Unwashed as in “unsanitised” or “as it is”, but “soiled” is unrelated.

A tribute is what I intended, and so it stands, resistence is futile, at whatever ohmage.

Last Word: “Smiley”  
Anagram: “Emilys”  
Clue: “A truly proper post, and others…”

(Groan may be heard all the way to Oman)

Delighted to say that the smiley problem has sorted itself out now that a restful night has elapsed.
