Hi all! A smaller 13x13 grid for you all this week—good luck! (parses) Thanks to Liari and MP for testing.

Hi there from your friends in Canada. We are curious how CUBED MELON becomes ROT TEN. All our Googling of British slang isn't shedding much light. We love your puzzles! Thank you very much for continuing to publish them.

Hi Martha, Doug, Rather an obscure one I'm afraid! "ROT10" means to rotate the letters 10 places along in the alphabet, so C becomes M, U becomes E, et cetera (ROT13 is probably the easiest one of these codes to Google)

so doing ROT10 to CUBED makes MELON

Thank you for the kind comments!

Thank you Jack, we don't feel half bad for missing this one now. :)
