Puzzle 120 – “Not Unsolvable”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
So, the title on this one. Refers to an unintentional (haha) mini-theme in this themeless, I guess? Yeah, we’ll call it that. Not me realizing way late in the game that there’s a mildly unforeseen (dangit) and unconscious (aaaaargh) recurrence within this grid. Heck, let’s go with it.
Seed entry: clearly 23-Across. I’m really pleased with the upper-left and lower-right stacks too. Favorite clue: 16-Across, easily.
As always, friends, hope you enjoy. Comments welcomed, as ever. Happy solving, yall.
Thanks! Good one!
Thought it was gonna be too easy. Top left came quick, but it toughed up fast.
Conner helped me with this one!
I like the info in 55A and learning how to spell 26D.
Conner told me he contributed on this one. Nice to hear.
Another tough but fair puzzle, and “Soft Cell” helped me clean up the middle. Great factoid about the “Doles” running for president, which I somewhat remember.
It’s been a while since synth-pop made an appearance around here, but it’s never too far away for long…
I LOVE the clue for 10D – I’m all about dad joke pun clues/answers.
I don’t often go super punny, but if the silliness presents itself to me, I’ll go with it.
