The triple stack used to separate the men from the boys. Then crossword construction software became more sophisticated and it wasn’t nearly as hard to do. Oh sure, some pulled off the three at the top, three in the middle, and three at the bottom with another 15 running down the middle of all three stacks. Okay, that was impressive. But the triple stack just doesn’t pop as much as it used to.
And yeah, two of the three Crossword Jesuses as well as Joe Krozel pulled off the quadruple stack in the middle of a 15×16 grid. Those would be an impressive enough feats until Kevin Der humbled everybody with the quad stacks at the top and the bottom. In a measly 15×15. Sheesh. Talk about making the triple stacks really unimpressive.
So yeah, today’s is a triple stack cuz I’m not bat-shit enough to try the quads. But at least they’re 3×16 chunks. Had to try something new, right?
Share the puzzle. New one on Wednesday.
