Puzzle #50: Themeless "Embarrassing Text"
Wow, fifty puzzles! I think. I feel like I messed up the count somewhere along the way. Well, now it seems I should have some grand announcement or insightful reflection here! But nope, this is just a wacky, "loose" themeless to round out September. Coming soon, though, I promise I'm going to write that essay about crossword puzzles as craft. OK, enjoy!

Really fun puzzle with lots of unusual (and appreciated!) fill. Clean, only six 3s, open corners - lots to like!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this! loved seeing 3D, 16D, 41A in particular, and 15A gave me a hit of a particularly minty-smelling nostalgia (iykyk). also really liked the clue for 52A, didn't twig to it until my second look! I had the most trouble in the NE after the rest flowed pretty smoothly (you wouldn't believe how many things I auditioned to be the end of 21A), but/and/so I feel I appreciated the puzzle all the more for having been made to think harder ^^ oh, also, I wasn't familiar with 20D but was able to guess it once a few crosses were in, super fun entry.
