Degree of difficulty (by standards of this weekly puzzle): easy.  Got 1a and 1d right off the bat, which provided a whole lot of first letters, and it was off to the races.

Hozom’s comment: “Take Five,” in which Hot and Trazom  inform us there is a Facebook group devoted to supervocalics and we are introduced to Eric Chaikin, producer of the film Word Wars and author of a scholarly review of the topic (Chaikin might be a good subject for a future Word Salad interview).  If you don't know what supervocalics are, go over to Word Salad and find out.  Or perhaps subscribe to Word Ways.
