Brilliant! An almost perfect puzzle. With one exception (etsy) it was wholly original. Well done.
@Anna Yes, I it does seem he was Swiss and lived from 1493–1541. This clue appears to be an error.
@Vaer—I believe you *can* check out, but you can ever leave.
Stank, not stunk, is the simple past tense of stink.
@Nick “Pome” is a botanical descriptive. I’m sure botany exists in Canada.
It is tedious and boring to have to figure out whether to put the word “hole” in the circle or leave it as a hole.
@Sam Maybe there should be a Ono-Eno collaboration?
Is “lyes” even a word? I thought it’s always just lye, singular or plural. MW seems to agree.
@Andrzej I wouldn’t get all mopey about moped.
@CTCullen Precisely. The clue/answer is grammatically incorrect.
It seems there is a glitch in the online app. I was on my way to completing the puzzle and had double letters in three squares and two empty squares when the app declared (via the jingle music) that I had successfully completed the puzzle. I’ll take the win but I’ve never encountered a puzzle that allows a win when there are unfilled squares remaining. Seems sloppy.
Isn’t 93 across just backwards? I thought BCE was the new convention and BC the old.
I wonder why there is a picture of boys playing tubas atop the article about this puzzle.
@HeathieJ. Is there a way to get a “submit” button? That would make solving the puzzle fairer more challenging as it would preclude “running the alphabet” on a last letter.
Happy to finish today’s puzzle! it shoud have extended my streak to 188 but it’s stuck at 187. Will this eventually resolve or should I contact someone somehow?
@Andrzej That is to say, there’s no chemistry between you and chemistry.
I see now that the article is entitled “Strong Wind.” But why?
@Kevin Thank you. Could you tell me how to contact support?
@Cat Lady Margaret I have thought the same thing re. the cars but, alas, you know it can’t work in the age of cell phones. It would take a line of Waymo cars to work, or having all the cars clamped to an under-street cable like in San Francisco.
