Afternoon here in Japan, hlvp. And that’s another word I am completely unfamiliar with. I’m adding so much to my general knowledge and vocabulary doing these crosswords.

IMPASSE, I'M PASSÉ
...and a bug on the Chambers site. Looking for "passé" returns no results, but looking
for "passe" returns "passé". Yes, I check nearly every word I'm not absolutely certain exists
in your weird idiom, lest I often embarass myself guessing as with "Nonce" the other day :oops:
