One of my testers wondered if this was a Merl Reagle tribute puzzle, and I guess, rather unintentionally, I suppose I did kind of do one. Not the whole puzzle, mind you. One Merl-adjacent answer appears in one of the theme answers. It’s somewhat hard to not inadvertently reference Merl as he made so many puzzles, and came up with so many memorable themes. But I insist, this was strictly by accident. Regardless, who doesn’t want to remember Merl? Enjoy.
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 Monday.
