Puzzle 117 – “Roll With the Punches”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
Seed entries for this one: 11-Across, 58-Across, and the spanner at 6-Down. Favorite clues: 18-Across for the punniness, 14-Down for the reference, 53-Across because I’m glad it’s a thing that exists in the world, and 48-Across just for being a fun (and useful!) word.
ALSO: I neglected to mention here last month that I constructed a puzzle that was distributed at the 2023 Mississippi Book Festival. It’s themed on writers from my home state, and it’s available as a downloadable pdf here. Please enjoy.
As always, yall, comments are welcomed. Hope you dig these. Happy solving, folks.
I choose to believe 18 Across is a Jimmy Buffett tribute.
Ha. I had the same thought when I read it.
You can choose to believe whatever you like!
Fun puzzle! Learned a new word too.
Assuming it’s 48-A? It’s a good one.
Thanks! Good one.
I got stuck in the bottom left. A few I didn’t know.
It’s a bit of a tough corner, ’tis true.
