What did you enjoy about the puzzle? Let us know in the comments below – and have a nice weekend!Įvan Birnholz’s Washington Post crossword, “College Admissions”-Amy’s recap My favorite clue of the puzzle was easily 112A BRATWURST. It was a very quick solve for me, though, which was a nice bonus and could tip the scales in favor of this puzzle for folks on the fence (though I suspect there’ll be a mixed response to this puzzle). I was waiting on a revealer that never came, but I reckon the graphic nature of this theme along with the title meant there didn’t need to be one. My favorite theme entries were the one where the conveyance was present in a totally different form in the base answer, like in EDMUND HILLARY or RAN RAMPANT, and I wished there were more of a transformation in some of the other entries. I really enjoyed the Chutes & Ladders nature of this grid, with a HILL, RAMP, and STAIRS to bring you up the grid and STEPS, a SLIDE, and a CHUTE to bring you down it. – 114A diagonally up to 84A: ALASTAIR SIM – STAIRS in circles – 80A diagonally down to 109A: PARACHUTE IN – CHUTE in circles – 73A diagonally down to 95A: BACKDOOR SLIDERS – SLIDE in circles – 60A diagonally down to 79A: EVIL STEPSISTER – STEPS in circles – 39A diagonally up to 24A: RAN RAMPANT – RAMP in circles – 35A diagonally up to 22A: EDMUND HILLARY – HILL in circles
