Menace #28

◆◆ · By ariel haymarket · Published 2024-01-23T06:14:22.825Z

Tips appreciated to help this Texan keep taking estrogen! Warning - puzzles often crass, anarchic, and approaching NC-17 territory.

    1A - SASHA Fierce + (YES-E) / 5A - H + TRANCE anagrammed ("altered") / 6A - LIVE reversed ("uplifted") + EYE ("study") / 7A - Double def / 1D CS + HATES anagrammed ("peculiar") [And yes I know a homophone angle was available] / 2D - I + SCALER / 3D - Intended to be a cryptic def / 4D - SHREK + I ("Ariel")

      Cute that 1D and 1A are homophones!

        Such was originally referenced, but dropped

        I really like 1A, 5A, and 4D, although I think that last one should probably be Green monster's muffling Ariel's screams because as is, it just looks like SHR(I)EK.

          It occurs to me I should also use Hydrogen-infused trance but that last one was a slip on my part

              had to use a check on 3D because cdefs are hard :P
              • ariel haymarket constructor · 2024-01-24T07:12:44.629Z
                Fair enough!
