GOING TOO FAR: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Heads up, it’s a Going Too Far puzzle, so it’s probably nigh-impossible to do this one on screen, but hey, it’s your puzzle. Solve it however you wish. Just saying, PDF is the way to go here.
Forty-one of the answers in this crossword are too long and won’t fit in the spaces provided. Each of these answers will either begin or end in the gray square immediately before or after it. When the puzzle is done, all the gray squares will have been used exactly once, and the letters in them (reading left to right, line by line) will spell out a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche.
Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon) and Marching Bands year seven have begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Yesss i have been waiting for another installment of the “Going To Far”. Love your puzzles and especially love this type.
32D/47A was a Natick for me.
For 32D, I never learned the names of the actors in “2001”.
For 47A, I’ve never seen “Around the Horn”, and I haven’t had its channel in years either.
Anyway, the crossing is gettable; it just fell into a personal knowledge lacuna.
Solved on screen (with scratch paper). Great puzzle!
What Joel said! Thank you!
Nice puzzle, though I would call it “Hard” more than “Medium”. Like was said, only real snag was 47A-32D and 51A-32D.
I solved it, but had no f—ing idea what was going on.
Did the same with scratch paper. So much fun doing it!
This is in the current issue of the Washington City Paper, but all the squares are white in the print edition. I came here to figure out which ones were supposed to be gray. Now the challenge begins!
Yes, I also enjoy this, but I was going to complain about getting Naticked here, too. I was saved from actually getting it wrong by my policy of going with the doubled consonant. 🙂
But I do think this is not generally gettable by a sizeable fraction of solvers.
