This puzzle would have been much better if both of the paired answers lit up when you clicked on one of them. For example, when you click on 92 across GOYA, 33 across WNKEES highlights. Why not also have it so that when you click on 33 across WNKEES, 92 across GOYA highlights.
@Bob. Sorry, but months are NOT capilalized in Spanish. Neither are days of the week.
Neat puzzle. It was fun being able to use the revealer to help solve the puzzle. Too often I don't complete the revealer clue until the very end of the puzzle when it's of no use.
@Henry Su John Glenn never went to the moon. Though I guess you could say his flight's success helped lead to the Apollo program.
@Robert Forbes Dr Phil is not an MD. Phil McGraw has a PhD. And I've never heard of a PhD being "revoked".
I'm impressed how the puzzle constructor was able to stack 3 long entries on the top, and stack 3 long entries on the bottom. Is a computer typically used to help do this? Or is it typically done without the aid of computer? (which seems like a pretty amazing feat to me)
@Greg I like easy puzzles once in a while. They balance out the ones that are too hard.
What's the connection between the clue "Rocks" and fists?
Some of the clues are quite clever but one of them stumps me. What does SUPERDUPER have to do with ape?
@Bafanu. That makes some sense. Another possibility is that ASL uses two fists to say "rock". Hmm.
Is this the beginning of a trend? I wonder if we should expect more Thursday-style puzzles on Wednesdays.
The NW corner was brutal -- it took me twice as long to solve that corner as the rest of the puzzle combined.
@Nora Levine. While Tess may be elder to Annie, she's also younger to Randall's daughter Deja.
"Farm Animal" had me stuck for the longest time. The ANT doesn't pop into my mind as an animal.
@Perry Brown A lot of people enjoy the Thursday "game" crosswords. But for people like you who don't like "game" puzzles, at least the other 6 days of the week you have your "puzzle" crosswords.
@Eric Hougland Thanks for all the info. Very interesting.
