I also enjoyed thinking of all the other Spanish (or Mayan, in theory) words which translate to "you are" for 61A (es, son, está, estás, están). But only one of those other than ERES is four letters.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-15540128477262048572016-06-14T22:06:51.567-04:002016-06-14T22:06:51.567-04:005:05

I guess if you're going to have POO in the grid, it's better to clue it with a reference to The Mikado than some other way. I personally enjoyed CANOODLES crossing EROGENOUSZONES. I mean, where else would that be? And then we also got the PATS, so that's all good.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-60848128686392781012016-06-14T04:43:24.431-04:002016-06-14T04:43:24.431-04:008:13

I guess, similarly, I'd heard the EBOLA, just not paired with the ZAIRE part. I liked INARREARS, but not OVULATION or SALTPIT. FAX is an excellent three. I enjoyed the puzzle OK for a Tuesday, and would maybe rate it in the low Bs overall, but I agree with the C+ for ATBAT. LUNK is excellent (19A Galoot).Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
