UP WITH PEOPLE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Kind of a weird one today, maybe. If you know me, it’s probably not that weird. Y’all know me, anyway. So it’s not weird. Forget I even brought it up.
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.
26 Across: extremely archaic alternate definition or typo?
Better “Up With People”

Sporadic maybe, with the “add a BRO delete a BRO” being so inconsistent, but not weird.

He had me there, and subsequent googling didn’t help at all….
Definitely “Hard,” not “Medium.”
I like ’em hard. Thanks!
Nice natick at 1A and 6D. Grrr. Too many current formal names lately. Not a fan.
I was late to this puzzle since I looked for it at 10 AM yesterday but it hadn’t yet been added. Then I totally forgot to check until this morning.
This was an exceptional construction! And very fun to do once the “aha” moment kicked in.
Not a “medium” puzzle though. My time was in the “hard” ballpark.
Once you get the theme this will make sense.
Count me in the “hard” camp, as well. Had to resort to “reveal letter” in a couple of places.
I can’t get it on Puzzazz – I get an error message and the suggestion to contact the author.
Oh, right, now I get it, thx. Still, just some indication that the answer might be a hint to the theme would have helped!
Good to know it wasn’t just me! Even better to know both this one and Monday’s work now.
