70 worder today. 70 clues too. That’s usually how puzzles roll. Clues and words. Becuase if there weren’t any clues, well, you’d be making the puzzle yourself, would you not? Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.

Looks like you’re first to market with 43D. Nice one. Maybe check clue on 26A. I think they’re roughly synonyms.
