PUZZLE 228

Puzzle 228 – “Where to Begin”

puz here / pdf here / solution here

I’ve got a brand new midi over at Lil AVCX today! Please enjoy. I’ll also be at Crossword Flow again this Thursday for all you iPad solvers.

But right here and right now, we’ve got a new themeless. The 56-Across was 56-Across (ha!), hence the title. Favorite clue: gotta be 39-Across. If you’re not familiar with 54-Across, please enjoy (spoiler at link).

As always, comments welcomed. Hope you enjoy. Happy solving, yall.

  1. good one thanks

  2. Never knew 9D; interesting! That DFW essay mentioned in 26D is a classic. Gary Shteyngart had a similarly themed one in The Atlantic within the last few months. Also excellent.

  3. Oddly enough, just saw 15D a couple nights ago here in Minneapolis! Hadn’t seen him before – he’s great live. Fun one – and a fun Lil too!
