#12 Word Search

Today's puzzle is a word search. In the grid, cross out all the letters in the words as you find them. Words that appear in parentheses in the word list are just for clarification and are not found in the grid. When you are finished, write out the remaining letters in order, starting at the top left corner and working across the first line, then across the second line, etc. The result will be a quote by someone who was born on April 1. The solution is the quote. Please don't try to post a copy of the grid with the words circled. All I need is the quote, please!

#11 Mini crossword

I am the only one who writes all the puzzles for My Puzzle Fix, and I am not superhuman enough to create a full-sized 15x15 crossword puzzles every day. So here is a quick little 4x4 puzzle. To make up for the small size, I've eliminated the numbers -- you have to figure out where each word goes. Clues are divided into across and down.



Across

• Be idle
  
• Crooner Fitzgerald
  
• Screen king or queen
  
• Smiling Lisa

Down

• From _____ (at a distance)
  
• Lois's predecessor
  
• Ransack
  
• Some shade trees

To post your answer, list the across entries in order in your comment. If you got them all correct, then it's obvious that you got all the down entries correct, too.
