Interesting, I found today's easier than usual.

spoilerI wonder whether today's is more British leaning than usual? I tend to struggle with the overtly American puzzles.

Inspector Morse, for example, is a classic British TV show that is still sometimes shown in re-runs.

Hypnotic wouldn't have been the word I used to describe yellow but haze clearly fits with dream, trance, and spell as a being in a "fuzzy" mental state e.g. alcohol haze, drug trance, under a spell, dream state.

Also, I'm fairly sure I learned nanny at school.

Tap for spoilerThat very well could be!

Connections often throws in red herrings, so I thought that no way could Javert and Clouseau could be connected. Then I saw Gadget, but simply could not find another Inspector. (OTOH, Clouseau, hootenanny, Moscow, and dioxide all have two O's.)

It does occur to me that I know a nannygoat, but never would've thought of it. Oh well.

You may wish to revisit that postulation. :)

In American English, we usually pronounce - eau like the letter, O.

Dioxide is literally two O's!
