THEME: JUMP BACK (64A: Recovery … or what 17-, 25-, 38-, and 51-Across do)—themes start somewhere in the middle (in a round square), continue in the normal L-to-R direction , but once they reach the end, they JUMP BACK (past the original circle, back to the “first” square”). So they are only partially palindromic answers:

I’m super busy with stuff for the first week of school so this is going to be kind of short since I need Sleeeeeep. That looked good. Answers start in the middle, go back…there you go. I guess it’s some kind of architectural feat, I don’t know. I know the only one that really interested me was WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, both because it’s really long (although it ends up being a perfect grid spanning 15 boxes) and therefore has the most dramatic visual effect, and because I was applying to Whitman College when I was a high school senior (I have a lot of family in the Pacific Northwest) and I knew the answer right away (and I had a weird time remembering this little bit of my biography that even I had forgotten). I didn’t like writing the answers (partially) backwards. But it was more inconvenient than annoying. The fill on this one seems average, with the spectacular and original GAY RODEO (39D: Sporting even profiled in the 2014 documentary Queens & Cowboys) ahead of the rest.

I really don’t understand how [AA] = ACES. Maybe it’s some kind of poker notation I’m not familiar with. I certainly never heard of BAM BAM Bigelow, but the crosses were easy so he didn’t hold me back that much. BAM BAM died at 46. Rude. I know and accept that ALITO will appear in my puzzle for the rest of my life, but I will never like it. I’ll also never like TIE— as an answer since TIEPIN TIETAC and TIEBAR are all things and all things that came up at NYTXW in particular (tried TAC today). I typed in SORT (?) instead of SAVE (37D: File menu action). But otherwise I just didn’t make any mistakes in it. I figured out the theme very easily once I realized that the front end of the first themer *should* have been the nonsense I was looking at (“EKACN’s etc”). The first thing I did was read backwards. I saw “cake”. I figured it out quickly after that. None of the other topics proved problematic in the slightest. I had more fun yesterday, but this was still better than SO-SO (69A: Meh). The theme of the puzzle is RING CYCLE, referring to Wagner’s four opera cycles, Der Ring des Nibelungen. The four operas, arranged in order, can be found around the edge of the puzzle – they are:

… starting with Die Walküre in the bottom right. It is very nice that they are literally in a loop around the edge.

Theme clues that lack a definition part in the clue all lead to characters in these operas. Personally, I was very pleased when I understood the subject, as I am somewhat familiar with these works, and I can turn for help to my father, who knows them very well. I’ve highlighted in red and starred the theme solutions below.

In terms of working out the placement of the solutions, I found this relatively easy compared to some similar jigsaw-style crosswords, once I figured out how to enter the operas around the edge, based on the two three-letter words that should appear in them .

I really enjoyed this puzzle – it was a good challenge and had quite a few clues that made me smile. Thanks Maskarade.

A + ZO = “Himalayan cross” (an animal loved by Scrabble players) + I = “one” + C = “cold”

GRUB = “Food” reversed + UND = “and, for Heinz” (ie German for “and”) + [barle]Y = “last barley”

Thanks to Sagittarius for pointing out that the definition is “of Caesar’s god” (ie including the apostrophe-S) since DEI is genitive. (Unfortunately, I never studied Latin at school.)

Double definition: “Batter’s Call of Discovery” (what Archimedes supposedly called out in the bathtub) and “Australian Rebellion of 1854.”

A wonderful clue due to surface reading: the first “False” is an anagram indicator, and the anagram fodder is FA… FR.EN. (“false friend” without the letters of “idles” (“idles falsely away”)

FRIER = ‘Milton’s brother’ (ie a word for brother used in Milton) + N = ‘name’. I personally think that a vague answer like this (probably forced by the grid construction) ideally shouldn’t have any vague puns either, and a word from Milton falls into that category for me.

GAME = “done” followed by CUBE = “8 or 27?” (8 is 2 cubes and 27 is 3 cubes). Obviously this clue would be much more misleading if the clues were numbered 🙂

Definition: “Nintendo video console” (the one with the listing is more of a giveaway if you know anything about game consoles, but I guess the typical crossword solver might not!)

GANGE[s] = “short river” + D = “deserted” (I’m guessing this abbreviation comes from military records? It was new to me anyway, but it’s in Chambers.)

Double definition: “Escapes” and “isn’t forced to pay” (huh? I think only “isn’t forced to pay” would be interchangeable, eg in “She gets free ice cream”)

PISTOL + “Professional killer” (as in “hired gun” – I think this is an example of synecdoche, the gun stands in for the person using it) + THER[emin] = “tool – not the half!”

U = ‘university’ in LLL (’50s’ – L is the Roman numeral for 50) + ED = ‘education’

NAN = “Grandma” + (WITH)* (“new” is the anagram indicator) around C = “canine” (short for teeth, I guess)

LIEU = “place” (in the sense that “instead” means “in place of”) with “sides” swapped (ie right [right] for L [left])

Definition: “art in Japan” (Tae Kwon Do is a martial art) – Update: several commenters have pointed out that Tae Kwon Do is actually Korean!

Update: Thanks to those who pointed out that treating this as a “Caravan that could be” works better than just “Caravan” as a hobbyist knife / VTUL 3-16-21 / Corn Farmer by harvest time / Lumberjacks in dangerous working conditions / High-calorie bakery offerings / Like pandas yaks and snow leopards / An old car that is a homophone of another answer in this puzzle

SUBJECT: ICE TEA (39A: Drink with a phonetic allusion to 17-, 26-, 51-, and 63-Across) — familiar phrases that begin with “T,” only the “T” is “cold” (as in “killed ” (!?), i.e. cut off, omitted), resulting in goofy phrases suggested madly (i.e. “?” style):

President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the area around Bayana Glacier a national monument under Acton Antiquities on February 25, 1925.

I like the quirkiness of this one. It’s a bit horrible, using killer language to refer to the simple omission of a letter. I’d probably go with something like URN OF PHRASE instead
