PUZZLE 230

Puzzle 230 – “Bet on It”

puz here / pdf here / solution here

Check out this Saturday’s USA Today puzzle, friends; it’s a themed one, by me. It’ll be over at GoComics or at their site.

But here and now, we’re themeless, as is most often the case. But you’ll notice a fair number of entries in this one to which the title might apply. Favorite clues: 10-Down and 30-Across, both of which operate in that ambiguous space of “does this clue need a question mark or not, since it’s literally true?”

I hope your autumn is off to a good start, even as I have a touch of trouble getting used to this whole earlier sunset business, as of this weekend. We’ll all do our best, right?

As ever, happy solving, yall. Comments are welcomed. Hope you enjoy.

  1. Enjoyed this, as always. In addition to the song titles you already have, there’s another one at 5D (from Clapton’s first solo LP)! Liked your clues for 10-, 24-, and 31D.

  2. good one thanks
