I realize that in some ways, all my puzzles are my babies. But the reality is that there are just some puzzles that I like better. This is one of them. Hope you agree.
Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Joon Pahk) and Marching Bands year eight has begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Solved the puzzle but didn’t understand the theme clues.
Ditto.
A tour de force!!! Hard to imagine how you pulled that off!!!
I think I get it now: It’s a simple letter substitution. 48A: U=A, A=E. I never could have figured it out that way, though; just had to arrive at each answer from the down answers. But man, Brendan, you deserve major props for coming up with those clues!
Solved it. Didn’t love it. Figured out it was letter substitution but not the same substitution scheme for each answer. Eventually I’ll read up on how cryptograms work.
BTW: this comment should put to rest the silly notion that I am BEQ.
I solved it without much trouble at all…I just don’t know how I solved it. Thanks, Brendan!
I really struggled with the crypto/cypher clues. Very difficult to understand. Different for each answer? Guessing there must be a pattern or something. Frustrated.
what’s Italian about DREIDEL?
