It's "upsy daisey", not "upsa daisey".
C notes is a slang term for 100 dollar bills. C spots is not. Give me a break!
There is a problem with the 27 down answer to "bachelor party VIP". "Stripper" doesn't fit.
Now I know what a "rood" is. Thank you.
I get that this is a puzzle. But is it still a crossword puzzle when the letters are imaginary and go into blank spaces. The reference to dark energy was cute, but imaginary letters?
"Navaho" is spelled "Navajo". Where is the editor when needed?
Buffalo Bill was the villain in Silence of the Lambs, not Dr. Lecter. He was in prison, for his own heinous crimes, until the end when he "had an old friend for dinner". The puzzle was challenge enough, for a Tuesday, without inaccurate clues.
Two frustrating puzzles in a row. Yesterday's constructor used made-up words. Today's constructor uses the rebus improperly. I get that using that function, as a constructor, adds complexity. But using it in one direction and not the other? I enjoy games. But I find games with no rules more frustrating than fun. What, I wonder, will be the rules of tommorow's puzzle? Perhaps Mr. Fagliano will let us know.
Plural for "nova" is "novae" not "novas".
Mario says "itsume", not "itsame". Aren't editors supposed to correct things like that?
"Rent" is past tense. "Torn" is the correct response. If he wanted "tore" the clue should have been "rend". Where are the editors?
A "denial" is a statement. It is not "no comment".
@Allen You are correct. I did not see that. But I find what the NYT's calls a "crossword puzzle" is, apparently, loosely defined. As I said, I prefer to know the rules of the game. Then the fun outweighs the frustration and I do not have to use the hints in "wordplay" to figure out the rules du jour. Thank you for your reply and enjoy your evening.
Sorry, but this is too nuts for me. And pig latin, as in amscray, is not a language.
The plural of "lacuna" is "lacunae" not "lacunas".
"scuzi" is spelled with an "I', not an e.
Tao? Citrus fruit portmantou? I don't get it?
Not worth my time. Please don't use this person's puzzles again.
If you are going to allude to that old bit of doggerel by Mr. Merritt perhaps you should continue that through the clue you require. It's "his beak can hold more than his bellican" Mr. Ruff. It isn't "bill". Or perhaps that's simply British humor?
Why is XMAS a busy time for JFK?
