Puzzle 162 – “Keep It Short”
puz here / pdf here / solution here
Here’s a themeless for yall once again. Seed entry here was 22-Across, and that’s what I had in mind with the title. But then again, the title also applies to lots of examples of 15-Across, and many bits of 2-Down. It does not apply, by any means, to 28-Down, in most cases.
Favorite clue… yeah, it’s 36-Across. But I’m glad to highlight two underrated jams in the 30-Down clue also.
If you subscribe to Apple News+ … watch for a puzzle from me showing up there midweek (like, Wednesday, like tomorrow) this week!
As ever, yall, comments welcome. Hope you enjoy. Happy solving, friends.
This looks like another fun puzzle, and I like the retro-nostalgia that’s often in your crosswords because it clears the cobwebs out of my head, lol!
I finally got around to working the puzzle today and did a clean solve. And I must add that your crosswords appeal to us “over 50” solvers, and we like how your fill contains very good stuff and very little waste!
Haha, nice to hear. I do like the occasional vintage clue…
Thanks!
I had never heard of 39A. Who knew?
