WORDY WEDNESDAY #78
MUSICAL WORD CHAIRS 2
The letters in these words are playing musical chairs; in each round, one letter gets dropped and the rest get rearranged. Write the clued 7-letter words in column A. Then drop one letter from each word and rearrange the rest to get a 6-letter word that goes in column B. Drop one more letter and rearrange what's left to get a 5-letter word to write in column C. The letters thus dropped, reading down the leftmost column and then the rightmost column, will spell a song title. The words in column C are clued in order, but you must determine where the words go in the other columns.
COLUMN A
* Team Fortress 2 class that can perform a rocket jump
* Firearm with a long barrel
* Sportswear designer Kors
* Do over and over and over, as programming instructions
* Kirk of Growing Pains
* Not native
* Office supply store that sells “easy” buttons
* A state in Mexico or a Dodge SUV

COLUMN B
* Punish a child, perhaps
* Border
* Duds
* Comes to an end, as a subscription
* Looked for
* The desire to cause someone harm
* Part of the eye
* Golden tunes of yesteryear

COLUMN C
1. Military surveillance, briefly
2. A river in Africa
3. A cube, for one
4. Characteristic
5. Out of style
6. “I'd walk a mile for a ____” (cigarette slogan of yore)
7. A melon is one
8. ____ Park (animated TV series)

COMING NEXT WEEK. . .
* What's a five-letter word for "What kids, teens, adults, and elders do in many YouTube videos"?
* Patron Puzzle #7, which will be delivered exclusively to Patreon supporters ($5 or more per month), is a Pathfinder. Words snake around the grid horizontally and vertically; you're given the starting position and direction for each word, but the rest is up for you to determine. Every letter is used in two words; there are 54 words in all.
* Patreon supporters ($5 or more per month) will also receive issue #1 of Fox & Badger Magazine, which combines three of my favorite things: puzzles, Comic Sans, and clip art. A six-puzzle meta, "For Inner Peace", leads to a song title as its final answer. How frequent will this magazine be? It depends on how creative I'm feeling and what kind of feedback I get.

Until next time, yappy solving!
