Theme: “Expansion Pack”- The theme seems inconsistent with the answer clue; They are all two-word answers, where you have to read the first letter of the first word as *its own word*, and then take the second word as normal (eg BOTTOM LINE = “B” LINE = BEELINE for 23A: Straight Path) (appear online There were “puzzle notes” that gave standard clues to the actual answers to the …
Brightly Coloured Fish Crossword Clue 6 Letters
There must be a better way to implement this concept. I kind of enjoyed figuring out what was going on with the theme, but being faced with the horrible “puzzle notes” ahead of time really messed everything up. Put a lot of words and boring and unnecessary noise between me and the puzzle experience. It’s not unusual for tricky puzzles to contain essentially incomprehensible answers, so I don’t know what the notes were all about. The first part of “Notes” is actually good—the part that essentially says, “Yo, a bunch of these answers don’t match their clues, and you need to figure out why.” That sounds like a lot of help to any solvers wondering what the hell they’ve gotten themselves into here. But the part where the “standard clues” are presented, in a particular order (???) if they are somehow a feature and not a bug… I don’t understand. Unspecified answers remain an error. You can embrace the error and let them go, or you can try to eliminate the error but end up crushing the error and creating a terrible mess, which is essentially what happened here. Without the “puzzling notes” … I like this concept just fine. I was certainly happy to have no idea what was going on for a while. I love tricky themes that don’t reveal themselves so easily, and this one definitely delivers on that count. Ok… didn’t put the trick together until here:
What Coloured Pencils Do You Use… And Why?
Before that, I felt that the first word in Themer was simply ballast, whose existence would be explained at some point in the solution. That is, I assumed the literal answer to 23A: the direct route was LINE, and that the color of the owl/pussy-cat boat was green. Both answers seemed to work fine, so the whole first letter concept didn’t register. Then, as you can see (in the incomplete grid I posted above), I had no idea how to spell GALL-VANTS, and I wasn’t ready to commit to it, even though 63A involved the same phrase that made sense. That was the answer until I realized what was going on. Then I went to the older brother, “Oh brother!” Immediate connection. Then I looked back at those three previous themes and they all suddenly and clearly came into focus: beelines, pea leaves, and eye contact. There is a moment of truth. That was the climax of the puzzle. The rest was easy and less exciting because the mystery was gone, but conceptually I think this holds up pretty well. Unintelligible answers were always going to be a problem, and I didn’t like the ineffectiveness of trying to handle them. Otherwise, thematically, thumbs up.
I enjoyed the long downs, especially since 3/4 of them were catchphrases. “Let’s go with it!” “What’s your secret?” And especially “On that note…” were all winners. There were a few instances where the padding felt a bit anemic or downright ugly. That ATARUN (?) / TERCE corner (SW) is pretty ugly (except PRINCE , who’s pretty cool), and “WAH!” Neither is the “AH, ME” AMIGO bunch in the Middle East. “AH, ME” is always terrible, and … well, AMIGO is good as an answer, but man I hate that clue (46D: Broseph). Do people really talk like that? It’s like a caricature of how a “bro” talks. AMIGO is such a decent, all-purpose word, so why, why? Sigh, ouch, etc. But beyond those two small sections, weak spots only occasionally emerge. My ALECTO (every translation of the Aeneid I’ve ever read) has two “L”s, so that was weird (88A: One of the Wraths of Greek Mythology). But I think Virgil’s spelling is extraordinary. Or just the Latin variant. do not know. No idea: “A TO Z Mysteries” or ALDEN . I assumed the Boxcar Children were strictly a recent phenomenon, but they seem to date back to the 1920s. Ah, I see the book series died out in the mid 70’s but was then restarted in the 90’s. I missed both incarnations. “A TO Z Mysteries” started in 97, way past my time (they somehow missed my 2000 born daughter too – weird).
Wrong? Indeed, some. I had UNAPT in 5A: UNFIT (for) ( UNFIT ) and it was a weird result for a while because the answer contained the initials of two downs I didn’t know (7D: Yolk on them and 8D: ___ Malcolm , in “Jurassic Park”). Jeff Goldblum’s role). How is the yolk of fried eggs more “on” than any egg? I understand the conundrum, but it’s inappropriate for the fried part of fried eggs. I had 14A: Wild Thing before BEAST. I love that mistake. LOATHE before SCATH in 94A: Excoriate. I like that mistake less. And CLANGOR, yeeeeeesh. I wanted to write in CLAMOR (British spelling?) and now the more I look at CLANGOR the less words appear (84D: Cacophony). It’s like … it wants to be CLAMOR, but also wants to be from BANGOR. It also looks like a vague “Star Trek” run, maybe one that was mentioned once in a single episode of “TNG” in 1992 and never talked about again. “Klingon” + “Borg” = Clanger !

P.S. RITZ crackers “arms” (something like OREOs) (33D: the brand that comes from short arms) and I’m guessing STARs “heat” … outer “space”? (113A: Space heater?). Oh and [Big Bird?] LARRY BIRD because he was a big basketball star and also big (6’9″). Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares. The player aims to find horizontal words. To write by hand and vertically.
Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues related to the different rows or rows of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same number of letters as the boxes in the corresponding crossword row or rows.
Some words will share letters, so will need to match each other. Words can vary in length and complexity, as can clues.
The great thing about crosswords is that they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you want them to be. You can use many words to create a complex crossword puzzle for adults, or just a few words for younger children.
