Logophile I - Homophonophobia

◆ · By whak · Published 2022-06-14T20:53:26.079Z

Constructor's Note
[[Clues in brackets]] will have a homophonic answer. E.g., [[Completely saintlike]] (6,4) might be WHOLLYHOLY. -Clues in hyphens- have nonsense answers which can be achieved by taking the clue literally. E.g., -Odd bungalow- might be BNAO. This series seeks to utilize seldom-used words. The perfect puzzle for closeted 2000s kids with a penchant for science!

    Sorry, early solvers! Some of the clues used to be in vertical bars, but I wasn't aware that they did this...
