Someone said yesterday that people only tend to talk about puzzles being too easy or too difficult. Well this was a perfectly appropriate Wednesday, in my book. And fun theme!
Not a fan of this one. SET in opposition? Who has ever said that? DOWSE? LDOPA? Also, lots of crossword crutches like SOSA, ODORS, MCATS, EON, multiple plurals. Bleh.
Too much "tell me this word in a foreign language" here. Especially not a fan of the language natick NIHAO/ESTOS, which was especially tricky because ESTES also means "these". So I got stuck and had to check the key because I forgot how to spell Chinese "hello" :/
I found this to be the toughest Friday puzzle I've seen here. Just got nowhere until I revealed a number of answers. TIL "come hither" is an adjective and not a verb/noun.
I like this a lot - it was fun figuring out the catch piece-by-piece
I really liked this one. Really challenging, but everything was doable. Relatively few naticks or crossword crutch answers. Clever theme that took a few minutes to figure out even after getting the revealing clue. Well done!
Bleh, zoomed through this but had a single error I couldn't find. Not the first time I've gotten caught on one of the variations of KEBAB crossed with a proper noun. TINMAN seems like a perfectly good name for a movie that I've never heard of!
@Esmerelda I'm sorry you spend your time fantasizing abut wars that don't exist. I would suggest doing more activities to keep your mind away from that, not less.
@lucky13 > Am I missing something? Yes, it seems. This is a pretty common term.
GREEKMYTHOLOGY for "Echo location". Clever! For those of us who have never heard of "SPLITENZ" having the Z be a D the whole time threw me off big time. Bleh.
@RozzieGrandma You took the clue too literally. The ordering of the gospels in an actual Bible is Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
@M I liked that curveball - clearly the Nobel is an AWARD, but obviously the first guess will be PRIZE I convinced myself that only APES worked for the cross so talked myself out of the first guess
@Ryan. Had the same thought! Had no issues here, but in a good way. Really did not love the Tuesday puzzle and yesterday's theme threw me off completely
Uggggggh "SLAG" not "SLAB" It would have been nice if the cross wasn't a Native American tribe nobody has heard of.
