Sunday, January 7, 2024 - The name's Chyna ... BLAC Chyna!
Manage episode 394081716 series 2927391
A superb Sunday crossword by Michael Schlossberg, meeting the cruciverbal RDA for:
- old-timey clues -- 5A, "Yikes!", EGAD, and 19A, "Sounds 'bout right to me", IRECKONSO;
- birds that Mike has never heard of -- 3D, Bird also known as a lapwing, PEWIT, and 84D, Bittern, e.g., HERON; and
- a word that neither of the cohosts had heard of -- 2D, Petrichor, n.: The pleasant _________ of rainfall on dry soil, AROMA (but to be clear, the word we were unfamiliar with was Petrichor, we nose, er, know, all about AROMA).
All in all a fine addition to the Michael Schlossberg pantheon of great crosswords, and 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.
A reminder, to get more out of this and every episode, we provide a link to xwordinfo.com, where you can see the entire crossword, filled out, with the accompanying clues. So if you have't solved the crossword yet but don't mind a huge spoiler, check out the site so you can better follow along as we meander through the grid.
Show note imagery: Gian Carlo Menotti's AMAHL and the Night Visitors.
