Puzzle 164 – “Rhythm and Melody”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
Hey solvers. Keeping it themeless again this week.
Seed entries for this one were the long acrosses, 27-Across and 44-Across. Title refers to 27-Across and 15-Across primarily. Favorite clue: probably 58-Across, which is a pretty basic entry-level question mark clue, can’t help but feel. I do like how the long vertical pairs came together.
While we’re at it, both elements of the 15-Across clue are highly recommended. Look ’em up.
Happy solving, yall. Comments welcomed, as ever. Hope you enjoy.
Another great one! Don’t know why, but I loved the clue for 29D. I got 4D confused -RADIO vs -MEDIA, which tripped me up for a few seconds, but easily straightened out. Thanks!
29D: I’m on the record, I can’t resist a fun fact.
Wow I hadn’t thought about 27A in so long! Had to sing my way through the lyrics to even get to the title. I LOVED that song! Thanks for the reminder. I also very much enjoyed your clue for 58A. Another great Luter puzz.
Thanks!
(I listen to 27A like weekly, I’d estimate, lol…)
I have a tendency to think that 15As will be too much work to read, but I’m not really sure why — Anne Carson’s ‘Autobiography of Red’ is one of my favourite books of all time. I seem to have library access to the two in your clue, so I plan to check them out. thanks for the recommendations! (and thanks for the rest of the puzzle too!)
The Guriel is really great. He has a new one, also a 15A, out this year that I have bought but not gotten to quite yet.
With you on Autobiography of Red… so dang good.
Good one thanks!
I got a kick out of seeing that set of messages come in from you as you were catching up on the last few weeks’…
