THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Is it really a themeless puzzle if it has a mini theme? Is really a themeless puzzle if it has two mini-themes? You tell me. One of them was completely accidental, FWIW, but a happy one at that. Anyway, even if you miss the gimmick(s), should be a fun one. Enjoy.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
i’m going with the mini-themes being:
SILVERSPRINGS and GOLDENSHOWERS
ANYIDEAS and IDUNNO
back to the fecal theme from a week or so ago, who doesn’t want to see GOLDENSHOWERS in a crossword.
The slang term is actually inappropriate as much urine isn’t yellowish. Plus what comes to mind is some Greek myth where gold falls from the sky, to someone’s benefit, i guess. And yes, i know, there is a Funker Vogt song mentioning this as if they were told to put it in the lyrics not knowing what it actually meant. They speak German but most of the times sing in English.
How I got “RAPESEED” I’ll never know.
Great puzzle. I often do a bunch of puzzles in a row and was sailing along when crosses revealed what had to be 35A GOLDENSHOWERS. “What?” I thought, then looked up at the constructor and laughed. Thanks B.E.Q.!
Then there’s the GOBEFORE and GOTAFTER minitheme.
