Puzzle 136 – “Take a Closer Look”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
It’s themeless, but it’s clued a little more gently than usual. Yall, it’s cold this week. You don’t need a brainbuster of a crossword right now; you need a gentle hug of a puzzle, a cuddly-smooth solve. I hope this one is the themeless equivalent of warm footed pajamas for you.
Seed entries: 14-Across and 57-Across. Favorite clue: maybe 7-Across, actually–a hopefully accessible question-mark clue for an old 3-letter favorite.
Keep warm, folks. Happy solving. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcomed, friends.
Thanks!
I got a little hung up in the right middle. Didn’t know 29D or 38D
Yeah, potentially tough proper names there. Tried to keep the crossings fair.
The answer to 7-across is no.
Love seeing 57A in a crossword! Has to be (fun? hard?) to construct around…
It’s a useful word! All a matter of placing it on the right row, I think, for that Q to become an asset and not a burden…
