Won't be able to do the recap early today due to an appointment, so it's up for grabs if anyone else does. Good luck to our own Charlie (well, one of them!) today.

TWERPHEAD also in round 13 for a 9. I'm not going to look it up to check because it's so obviously a word.

I think the word you're looking for is "life".

Raj told us the story of the term "grandfather clock". I knew about the song being written by Henry Clay Work around that time. But I think Raj got the name of it wrong - according to WP it's My Grandfather's Clock.

So the song is based on a true story. One is made to wonder whether
  • there was a mystical connection between the brothers and the clock, such that the brothers' deaths actually caused the clock to stop
  • the two brothers were the only people who knew how to repair the clock when it stopped working
  • it was just coincidence
But here's something you probably didn't know: There was a sequel.
