But really, the whole puzzle is so clean and nice. A pleasure to solve. And Happy Birthday to Huygens and all who celebrate!Kelly Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-81439625623365316342021-05-01T10:11:55.525-04:002021-05-01T10:11:55.525-04:0012:56

It could've been a little faster if I hadn't entered eerIe at 1A instead of UPLIT, needing crosses to correct it. I haven't seen ADASTRA yet but will, eventually. I thought the clue for SKY was a little odd, or at least something I haven't heard before, but I'll accept it. And SCOTCHEGG: gross. SPRITZ is a nice word, and a good entry. Never heard of a NEOPET, but since it was a down, I had enough crosses to guess it correctly. I also never heard of the ALAMODOME, but wasn't surprised that was what it was called. Actually, the San Antonio Spurs isn't ringing any bells, either. Baseball, maybe? THEOX should have been clued with John Entwistle.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
