PENNY EXPRESS: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Kinda sorta some spoilery stuff without any explicit answers, masked a titch with some inside baseball verbiage, so if you want to know nothing, best look the other way. But for those who are interested, read on. It’s probably good crossword construction to make the “shop stopping” theme answer go in the last spot. There it has the feel of “tada!” But, I’ll argue that if you can’t put that answer there, you’d better darned well put it in the middle because then you could say, correctly, that the whole puzzle was built around it. (See what I did there?) Anyway, today’s offering is one of those middle-out jobs. And if I did my job correctly, hopefully you laughed.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
For some reason I’m drawing a blank linking Penny Express to the answers in the puzzle. Can you help an old man out? 🙂
E sound as in penny takes the place of the o sound in pony (pony express becomes penny express)
