PUZZLE 272

Puzzle 272 – “This Is Not a Drill”

puz here / pdf here / solution here / full screen here

This past week’s AVCX Classic is a very silly puzzle by me, but silly is not a crime. Check it out here if you’re a subscriber (and if you’re not, you should be, as all the branches of AVCX do great stuff). Also, I’ve got this Thursday’s midi over at Puzzmo; please enjoy.

The blog puzzle this time around is back to your usual themeless. Seed entry was 62-Across; if you don’t know the lovely track in the clue, give it a listen (spoiler at link). Favorite clue: well, I do like some of the misdirects in here, but it’s 55-Across.

As always, comments welcomed here (even though last few weeks I’ve been neglectful in responding to them… I’m catching up!). Hope you enjoy. Happy solving, friends.
