Or was that in The Week, the Worcester Telegram or the Webster Times? I, like Colum, knew NYM, even though I didn't know one of its crosses HEYYA, and don't expect to ever learn of it. I don't understand TIRO, but luckily for me its crosses were all fine. I didn't love all of the black in the grid shape, but I guess, given the day, it's OK, and there were certainly plenty of MEATY answers to make up for it.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-21557879172475701232018-02-14T22:49:57.962-05:002018-02-14T22:49:57.962-05:0013:54

Solving online, the white squares turn pink and the black squares and border turn a darker pink. Nice touch.

There is a ton of white space, but the very large "corners" of non-existent black squares helped with the construction, I'm sure. I tried shipYARD first, and then had a block for that whole area. I really only broke in with 46A: How the answer to this clue goes in the grid (ACROSS), NYM (which I did know), and then MCJOBS, which opened up the entire bottom of the puzzle.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
