	Very good!! and the theme was very challenging also, loved it!! my only quibble is you went from barn-earn-warn (forget which order since im on the stats page) Its unwritten rule with ladders not to change same letter 2x in succession... Otherwise nice job :)

	Never heard of a wain and did not know the Horton forest had a name.

	Really like how you tied it all together at the end.

	Makes everything better that the theme was incorporated into the ladder. I think it would've been much harder to get the theme if I hadn't done the day's mixed word beforehand.

	I have heard of a wain. The Horton forest I had to fill in after the next word.

	@EmYanks, great catch. I normally catch those before they go live but not this time. I removed 'barn' altogether.

	@cocky, since you mentioned it, here's the opening line of Horton Hears a Who! On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool, in the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool, he was splashing enjoying the jungle's great joys, When Horton the elephant heard a small noise.

	Didn't recognize WAIN until I filled it from the other side, but I know that Wainwright is a wagon-maker, so I should have figured it out.

	@total_randomness Maybe you've heard of GREs? Or the GRE? Anyway, fantastic quiz.

	Good quiz until the penultimate question. How many people who are not US students have heard of that?
