Homophones?

Constructor's Note

After you're done debating whether 8A / 6D are pronounced the same, I'd love it if you checked out today's L.A. Times puzzle - a collaboration with Katie Hale

Thanks for solving! A full archive of my puzzles can be found at OlioGrids.com or at crosshare.org/oliogrids.

Nice as always! Does the LAT link need fixing?
- Brian Callahan constructor · 2024-01-06T20:10:23.792Z
  Yes it does - thanks for catching!

I feel like every LAT clue needed a ?, wasn’t my jam. But this was a fun palate cleanser!

I'm on the hard G team.

Fun mini and a fun LAT puzzle! I liked the answer to 46-Across in that one

  That was the seed entry for the puzzle. Thanks for solving!

great crossword confused as the the homophone title
- Brian Callahan constructor · 2024-01-07T05:13:35.512Z
  The pronunciation of 6D is part of an age-old debate (by age-old I mean like 20 years). Some people are in the hard-g crew, while others say that it sounds like 8A

Lots of fun! The LAT puzzle is terrific. Great misdirections. It got my brain going again after 28 hours of travel to Australia (where I just had lunch with Kieran!)
- Brian Callahan constructor · 2024-01-07T05:12:21.528Z
  Ooh, that's exciting! Enjoy Melbourne - will you be attending the Aussie Open?
  - JeffsPuzzles 🤓18s · 2024-01-07T07:11:08.986Z
    Unfortunately not - I'm here for a few days then heading to Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, and then over to NZ.
    - Brian Callahan constructor · 2024-01-07T16:42:32.502Z
      Sounds like an amazing trip! I'd love to go to all of those places someday. Safe travels!
Grant Kennell 🤓56s · 2024-01-07T09:41:39.212Z
Good job on both. You’re getting to be a regular there.
- Brian Callahan constructor · 2024-01-07T16:42:39.709Z
  Thanks Grant!
