Half Of Deca Crossword Clue 5 Letters
Half Of Deca Crossword Clue 5 Letters – JW quickly returns and gives us another CSO puzzle, this one for our very own Ron and his talented trombone. It’s not unusual to use the same clue for all theme answers, but Jeffrey brought it home with 4 themes that are all grid-spanners! He injects some nice 8 letter fill in the corner and crosses two stacked long single down fill. APRISED, SHUT OUTS, PARISHES, RING TOSS, IN SPIRIT and CASSETTE are 8s, with triple 6s intersecting double 6s in other corners. Very nice grid with very few small fills.
17A. Slide :Microscope mount(15). Sussing the theme isn’t the point, of course, but it was fun to see how Phil was going to make four different types of slides. We begin in the laboratory.

Mel is definitely someone who can respond with a lot of laugh-out-loud. JW is also focusing on light-hearted themes, puns and a good time had by all. I got used to his style, use of many words and sense of humor. With 67 squares in the theme, and three grid-spanners there aren’t many long sparkly fills, but he squeezes in AVALANCHE, WEB FOOTED, THREE PUTT and BALD EAGLE.
