    I'd be much obliged if somebody could explain 7A, 13A, and 5D. I don't understand at all.

      Three in Italian is TRE. We are to enter it going down, and "in flames" -- that is, contained inside the word FIRE. Today's NYT crossword repeats that idea a few times.

        Ahhh, I see. I found "tre" with Google Translate but couldn't see the connection to "fir tree" 😂 thank you!

      Good one, thanks!

        I beg to differ on 3D. I have never once said "ow" when I’ve stubbed my toe. My normal toe stubbing exclamation starts with the letter F!

          FOW? 😂

            Or as Pete Rose so eloquently said, "it starts with ‘f’, ends with ‘k’ and it ain’t ‘firetruck’!"
