I had “sake cups” as opposed to SAKE SETS, which held up the middle of the puzzle for a while. Oh yeah, other things in the puzzle! LANDMARKS and EARL GREY TEA are nice longer answers. Curious if there was literally anyone else on the planet that this was such a gimme for. I can’t believe we’re getting this reference over 10 years after it originally aired, but I’m here for it. Straight up my favorite thing in the puzzle was this amazing clue for GLEE. The theme answers are pretty good, although when I saw the clue for PROTECTED AREA I hadn’t gotten PANDA RESERVE yet, so the whole top of the puzzle took me quite a while to get through due to the cross-referencing.
I liked this theme because the title immediately made me think of “Triple Dog Dare” by Lucy Dacus, so thank you puzzle for starting my day with that.
Ariel Haymarket’s AVCX, “AV Classic Themeless #64” - Ben’s Review Damn that SARS-COV-2 and all its STRAINs!ģ.5 stars from me. I wanted something like ALLELE or MUTANT here, but certainly viruses have variant STRAINs.

The circled letters in the bottom row are A, B, C, (D), and E, with the A B C E working with the Downs and 40d’s clue looking for a singular PASTEL, so you should fill in that circle with your pencil … though standardized test papers don’t generally put the multiple-choice letter inside the bubble you fill in, so the concept here feels a bit off. , IN A SCRABBLE GAME, / WHAT TILE IS WORTH / TWO POINTS? Curious to know if the Web/app versions give you any hint that the word SHADE is what’s expected. There didn’t seem to be an accepted solution! The solution in the Web version of the puzzle fills a particular square with the word SHADE, but the theme clue says to “fill in” the correct circle, not to SHADE it. puz file of the NYT, and that turned out to be an unsatisfying option for this puzzle. I was thinking “tailwind” so at least I was on the right track.ĭaniel Bodily’s New York Times crossword-Amy’s write-up Did anyone else read the clue as “mile-high fliers,” as in the mile-high club? No? Just me, then? Is this quote from somewhere specific? I’m not finding any sources online. There seemed to be a high number of proper names in the grid, which might prove troublesome for some solvers. But the humorous aha moment outshone any negatives in the theme, and I was still won over by the end.Įlsewhere, highlights include MACRAME and AMAZON clued with respect to Wonder Woman, not the online behemoth. And “MAY I ASK YOU” strikes me as an awkward phrase for a puzzle. It’s not a perfect theme set “sky” is used with its original meaning in SKYLIGHTS and arguably in SKYWALKER and not in the others.
