From the Page-a-Day Brainteasers Calender 2013 comes this word-search puzzle.

The grid below contains names of romantic couples. Names appear vertically, horizontally, diagonally (spelled upward, downward, forward, backward, etc.)

With the exception of three couples, each pair of names is linked by sharing at least one letter.


You'll know when you've located all of the linked pairs because the remaining letters spell out three more romantic couples, when read left to right and top to bottom.

(When I worked this puzzle, I was not able to recognize two of the linked pairs -- one from literature I've never read, the other from a movie I've never seen. However, I was able to deduce what they must be (i.e., finish the puzzle), by reasoning out the three unlinked pairs from all of the letters remaining at the time.)

quit after not being able to find Popeye / Olive Oyl

True; Popeye and Olive are not in this puzzle.

Neither are Fred and Wilma, Betty and Barney, or Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. There's no George and Jane (Jetsons), but there is another Jane and her mate. Amy and Kiff, or Leela and Fry? Nope. Boris and Natasha? Sorry. One also won't find Mickey and Minney, Lady and Tramp, Bambi and Thumper, or Donald and Daisy. But, there is another Daisy and her guy.

No more clues for you (today). ;)
 
Hello, mmm4444bot!

I found these linked pairs:
**
Romeo/Juliet
Scarlett/Rhett
Tarzan/Jane
Homer/Marge
Morticia/Gomez
Harry/Sally
Rick/Ilsa
Guinevere/Lancelot
Heathcliff/Cathy

**

And these three couples:
**
GATSBY AND DAISY
ARAGORN AND ARWE (?)
ROCKY AND ADRIAN

**
 
Yes, Soroban got it.

The correct spelling is Arwen. That couple is in Lord of the Rings. Our home once had a guy who liked quoting in Elvish; otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue. :roll:

The two couples that I did not know were R/I and H/C.
