My new book, THE SHADOW OF THE WORLD-FAMOUS NINE, will be out 5/13. It's a sequel to 2024's THE WORLD-FAMOUS NINE, & it's tons of fun & chock-full of puzzles. Chock-full. Look here, from Wiktionary, & only semi-helpful: "From Middle English chokkeful (“crammed full”) c. 1400, possibly from choke (“cheek”), equivalent to cheek +‎ full. Or it may be from Old French choquier (“collide, crash, hit”), similar to shock."
