"mill" or "functional"?
You found the Editors Boo-Boo. Originally, the Word was "Mill" which IS a synonym for "Works" (By all means look it up). However, the Eds thought that was too "Stretchy" so changed it to "Functional" instead.
...But forgot to change the solution!
the eds said functional is a synonym of works ? shouldn't it be working? with their change the answer should be working well under pressure. When it aint broke don't fix it. i like your version much better... it works.
Go figure!
Go figure indeed. Any Rebus's that I submit that use synonyms at all get flat rejected! Its a weird world lol. For what its worth I like this one alot.
That's worth more than you think! Thanx.
