Puzzle 156 – “Three Years”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
Puzzle #156 means we’ve been at this for three years on this site now, yall! And it also means I haven’t really improved all that much at titling these things. This title sorta links up with 1-Across, but it’s not like that’s the most interesting entry here.
On the other hand, 61-Across… I mean, I’m not saying it was the seed entry, but it was not not the seed entry. And here we are. Overall, this one feels a little crunchier than my last few themeless have been; I think the cluing is fair but the fill may not be the smoothest I’ve ever done.
Favorite clues here… I mean, 10-Down feels cute. But truth be told, it’s probably 47-Down because look, it’s stuck in your head now, isn’t it?
Hope you enjoy, yall. Happy solving. Comments always welcomed.
Congrats on the milestone!
Thanks!
And I appreciate you being such a loyal friend of the blog…
happy anniversary! I’m embarrassed that even though I’ve been in the band for a production of guys and dolls — and it was even my favourite music to play of the things of that kind that I’ve done! — I didn’t know 19A and had to get it from crosses. sorry frank.
meanwhile, re 47D … yes. yes, it is.
It is one of the earworm-y-est earworms. In a good way.
Just a coincidence that 61A shows up the same week that the WoF clip goes viral?? Hmm…
Congrats on 3yr though!
It’s not not a coincidence?
Good one thanks!
You’re very welcome.
