So I did one with 12 each way, and I trot it out now and then when I want a quiet week.

-ISH is in C as a living suffix, so it’s reasonable to claim NOWISH is there – or thereish anyway.

My one doubt was WISH because NOWISH (though I thought of it and it sounds right) is not is any of my dicts.

Still half-expecting to hear about some special aspect of the grid that I’ve failed to notice.

Surely this isn’t enough, although I can’t recall ever being told what is enough.
