I liked that the "Blue period?" clue and the XRATED answer were first and last of the acrosses. But let's not sugarcoat anything here...LAPCAT is terrible, and the only one that I ever knew is dead (Liesl). Pledge fits in where BONAMI belongs, and that certainly didn't help me in the NW, as one can imagine. Despite the aforementioned LAPCAT and the various slight problems with the grid mentioned by Horace, this was a high quality offering. It took me far too long to get WATSON, too, Colum, and I had W____ON for a very long time!Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-19546601426012042212016-04-08T22:16:44.076-04:002016-04-08T22:16:44.076-04:0031:44

I was definitely confused at how that made sense, but I was going with it. Yes. That was tough. FAITHNOMORE was a great answer right next SPANISHMAIN and TURNSIGNALS. That's high quality answers. But why did it take me so long to hit upon WATSON?<br /><br />I want a DOUGHNUT.<br /><br />Fine puzzle.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
