PRINTOUT PUZZLE: [ THEMELESS MONDAY]

PROGRAM: [Adobe Acrobat]

Sorry about the delay. Dumb technical difficulties, but I think we’re running a little bit smoother than we were this morning. Knock on wood. Love the Dr. Octagon, though, so might as well keep the YouTube embed up.

Oh, and when I say this one’s hard, it’s hard. I was in a nasty mood when I made this one (see what all the technical difficulties does to a man’s psyche?). Thought Mike Nothnagel’s puzzle in the Times this past Friday was a beauty, so I took his grid and refilled it (removing the 4 cheaters).

That is all I got for today. Back to the trenches to fight my computer. Share the puzzle. New one on Wednesday.
