    Fun puzzle, but I don't get the wordplay of 1D. Any help?
    • dilly constructor · 2024-10-12T09:57:00.151Z
      Oh my parses comment must not have posted? I'll update that. Wordplay is [revie]W "broaching" PANS ("issue of Lodge"). Lodge is a company that makes cast iron cookware, which is admittedly a bit more trivia-y (also USA-centric) than I'd usually do, but here we are. Thanks!

      2D: hose; twiNY LONg
