I agree with both of you that the clue is just a bit off, but certainly more interesting. And I got it immediately anyway.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-51395715547068969712014-01-13T20:23:58.657-05:002014-01-13T20:23:58.657-05:004:21.

I like ATONAL, as well as IRISHSEA next to CANISTER next to SEPTETS. OUZO is a nice one also. And VIII. I missed the ONE part of the theme, but saw the ALL due to the aforementioned Ls lining up with each other in the NE. I too wanted two Ns in CANISTER, Horace.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-12837987918351425892014-01-13T18:53:41.377-05:002014-01-13T18:53:41.377-05:006:22
For the most part I agree with Horace regardi...6:22<br />For the most part I agree with Horace regarding the "SERIES" clue and answer. The zero is necessary, and it's a sequence. Maybe we're supposed to notice that it's a series of numbers that is part of the sequence? Also, like Horace, I didn't know about the theme until I was finished filling in the grid. There were a couple of good ones in here, like 2D Very inexpensively (FORASONG) and 46D Cesar who played the Joker (ROMERO). Horace must have known FSTOP right off the bat. ATONAL is a nice word, and I liked LOLLS and LULUS right beside each other.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
