- JeffsPuzzles 9:16 · 29 days agoThis was tough! I finished it with an error (CIC instead of OIC) then had to think about the revealer for a minute before I understood the trick. The concept is well-executed, but I'm not sure the revealer, even with literal in bold, gets the point across. Or it could just be that my morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet. Still a fun solve with some cool fill and cluing (I especially like the clue for TAT). Thanks!
- Moose Dixon constructor · 29 days agoThanks for solving. I’m open to changing the revealer clue. What would you suggest?
- JeffsPuzzles 9:16 · 29 days agoIt's difficult because you'd have to get across the idea that the last word in the answer and then the first word follows under. I'm not coming up with anything better. It's quite possible other solvers won't have the same difficulty I did.
- Sendhil Revuluri 11:29 · 29 days agoI had the same difficulty in the same place (as well as a couple other squares that didn't click for me but made sense right afterwards, which I take to mean they were great hard clues). Agree on TAT as well!
- Moose Dixon constructor · 29 days ago@JeffsPuzzles @sendhilI changed the 57D clue to
. Better or worse?___ underneath, how 5D, 10D, 14D, 24D, and 27D should be parsed to make sense- MaddAddams 37:26 · 28 days agoI figured out the trick, solved most of the puzzle and then still got tripped up in the SE corner for a time. Didn't help that I was unfamiliar with 56D or 60A. I would normally expect 'UNDER' to be the solve, not the clue for a revealer
- chickenhaiku 45:58 · 29 days agoWaay too subtle for me. Even with Jeff's explanation, it took while to make sense of the themers.
- Moose Dixon constructor · 29 days agoThanks for solving and sorry for the lack of clarity.
- Shae 🤓26:03 · 29 days agoI liked it, good challenge.
- Moose Dixon constructor · 29 days agoThank you.
- suppity 58:20 · 29 days agoI thought making the revealer bold was a good solution! It clicked right away when I looked at the "underdog" clue.
- Moose Dixon constructor · 28 days agoThank you. I’m glad the clue is easier to understand.
- RitaInk 15:38 · 28 days agoThat was a tough one. It was good.
- Moose Dixon constructor · 28 days agoThank you.
- MrMegaGenesis 12:39 · 27 days agoGot the better of me, but a good puzzle anyways!
- Moose Dixon constructor · 27 days agoThank you. Tomorrow’s should be easier.
