Shout out to my dad who, throughout my childhood, was always singing or humming snippets from old fashioned songs and nursery rhymes, including both “Ta-RA-RA-Boom-de-ay” and “That’s Amore”. Lately he inadvertently terrorized my toddler, who now thinks that blackbirds will peck his nose off. Maybe one day he’ll be able to pull that nostalgic knowledge out to solve a crossword.
@Nancy Coincidentally (🥁), I completed this at the dentist’s office. “Best” doesn’t require a suffix. The playfulness of EST comes from “You’re the bestest!”
Great theme and puzzle, thank you! Additionally, a note of appreciation for the photo choices that accompany this column, always a fun little wink 😁
@Nancy Oh, and the value of a vegan salon is that the products are not tested on animals.
@Tom Martin AHHH THANK YOU. Had a mistake somewhere that I couldn’t identify. Was hoping a comment or discussion point could clue me in but the deluge of complaints bogged me down, until yours. Had STET/ATT (the balance on my mobile bill? Ha, whoops!)
@A James "Tare" on a scale means subtracting the weight of the container to measure only the weight of the contents.
Although I am currently reading The Wager, it is regrettably not helping me with these recent clues pertaining to parts of sailing vessels. darn! Great theme and a puzzle that brightened my day, thank you!
@Nina Dina the column you are commenting on explains how to read the answers to the themed clues. Start with the bottom letter and read up, you’ll see they are actual words!
@Darren eh, “ugh, this place is such a hole” and “there’s a hole in your argument” seemed clear to me 🤷♀️
@jennie they’re in all the places where the last letter of an across meets the first letter of a down :)
@Jones agree! I loved it.
@Harrison The Great is exactly why I was able to solve that clue 😂
@Janine but now you have a great (if self-deprecating) story!
@mimi hm, when I go on the “archive” view, it still has the intuitive color-coding and similar-ish icons denoting progress.
@Asher “the bird” is not the gesture, “flipping the bird” is. The answer has been flipped, so it’s literally a flipping of THE BIRD.
@Jon never heard of “giving the bird” only “flipping the bird”
