I loved today's puzzle but I need to change the subject. Did anyone else get a bit perturbed that the Year End Wrap Up for Games didn't include Crossword????
This was absolutely the biggest "AHA!" moment I've ever had in a crossword puzzle. Like others, I had a hard time figuring out the trick...I couldn't figure out how to parse A STAR IS BORN as 6 letters. And finally, after I got McCartney through crosses...I just started laughing out loud. And the rest of the puzzle fell into place. Thank you, David, for a GREAT puzzle.
@Roger I agree -- I still don't understand how "throw" means "peg." I say "He pegged his brother with the ball" but it does *not* mean "throw" -- it means "hit with a thrown object" in that usage.
Super fun! While I don't play Scrabble often, I picked up on the theme on the very first blue square, which made for my fastest Sunday solve ever!
@Joya OATS threw me off and made me change DRUMSOLO... ...are there people who put OATS on a sundae? And is it "common???"
@DIVAS IVLIVS same same
