THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
While I was posting today’s puzzle, I couldn’t help but notice that this is the 286th themeless puzzle as well as the 682nd puzzle overall. Then I saw that “286” and “682” are anagrams. Can you tell that I went on a cryptic clue writing binge session last night? Yes. Yes, I did. Good times. I hope this isn’t a sign of how the rest of day will go, looking for accidental anagrams and containers everywhere. And if it is, so be it. Like I always say: Why do drugs when you can live drugs as a puzzle maker?
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
Clue for 27D beyond hysterical.
One mistake: 22D o instead of I. Figured KoNGRAT could be something Asian like Tai-Pan or Shogun. Otherwise, way easier than average for me.
