THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Here we go. Dig in.
UPDATE I had fat fingered the PDF. Should be fixed now.
Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon) and Marching Bands year six have begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
24A and 25D in the PDF are both clued “No Clue”…
I don’t get it either. Can someone please explain?
Thought for a while that the answer to 56-D should be “typo” since the accepted spelling is “runners-up”.
It was a mistake, puzzle wasn’t quite done yet. I finished the PDF, guessing on those 2, then came here to see what was going on with those. It’s corrected now.
Finished the puzzle using the PDF with the missing clues and thought I was just too obtuse to understand some gimmick in play. And I also contemplated “TYPO” for 56-Down, but “TRISH” and “HARRY STYLES” both rang faint bells in my aging brain and I then realized what “HYPH” was short for.
Interesting solve, that … 😜.
Curiously, today’s NYT crossword has a clue (at 66-Across) that I suspect of being held over from an earlier version of the puzzle.
Strange vibes in the crossword universe today … 😜.
Gee, I didn’t notice that. Still, a terrific clue for RUNNERS-UP.
Do you provide the solution the following week?
You can click on solution below the puzzle.
Both “runners-up” and “runner-ups” are valid. E.g., see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/runner-up .
I’m sure he chose the variant spelling for that very purpose: so you’d think the answer was typo.
