Could someone explain why "Dark side of the moon?" has a question mark? The answer MARE is very literal. The clue had me assuming it was some sort of pun.
Like some others on this thread, I have a problem with TEENER. Both the clue (Sock Hopper) are no longer really in common use. What's more, searching online I find no reference to "Sock Hopper" meaning "One who attends a sock hop." Also - could someone explain how SEC is the answer to "Brut-ish"?
I would love a cogent explanation of how "Traffic Hang-Up" solves to "Snarl"
@LJADZ Didn't seem like that may proper nouns to me... which do you think is incorrect?
I'm a bit confused by TROT for "Race pace". A trot, for a person or a horse, is in between a walk and a run.
TIL as the answer for "Thru" looks categorically wrong to me. "Thru Monday" includes Monday. "Til Monday" does not. Period. I guess I'm the only one bothered by this, but unless there is an explanation I'm not seeing, this seems like an inaccuracy.
@Barry Ancona So is the clue an explicit reference to harness racing? A bit obscure, but okay, I guess...
Sorry to say, a few really questionable clues in today's puzzle. * The answer to "Source of distress for a bull" barely makes sense. * I feel like "One leaving you in stitches" deserves a ? * "0 to 100, maybe" seem really iffy as well. Couldn't the 100 be any number?
@Barry Ancona The "Today's Theme" section seems to be missing. All I see is a two sentence story about giving away puzzles for free and not getting divorced. So the explanation for this non-theme remains elusive.
Calling someone from Maine a Mainer seems very normal to me. It's the Down Easter moniker that feels obscure...
