Stella Zawistowski’s Newsday crossword, “Saturday Stumper” – Derek’s write-up That is all for now! Maybe I will see you on Chris’s next Twitch stream! 44D TB TESTS – Wouldn’t it be nice to have this type of test for coronavirus instead of the swab into your brain? I have not been tested, nor do I want to be if this is how they do it!.Not the biggest fan of these movies (a few of them I consider horrible!), so this took a second.

Also, not many sightings of these in Indiana at all. 48A NIQAB – I can never remember this veil’s name.32A SNYDER – Here’s hoping this comes to the Midwest soon! Had this in LA a few years ago, and they are excellent burgers!.17A THIRD RAIL – There are no subways in Indiana, so I am safe!.IMDB says she is still actively working, but not prolificly. Then again, I don’t watch much TV, even during this shutdown. 15A ANNE HECHE – Whatever happened to her? I haven’t seen here in anything for quite a while.1A FISH PASTE – This sounds disgusting.Maybe it was the tequila that slowed me down? 4.6 stars for this one. I will have to turn on Twitch notifications for him! This puzzle was a little thornier for me that usual Saturday LAT puzzles, but still not Stumper level. He mentions on his blog that he does a livestream of solving while drinking, which I have not seen yet, but sounds hilarious. If not, rest assured that this is one of the rising stars in puzzle construction. I have linked to Chris’s website before, so you should know who this is by now. 4.2 stars from me.Ĭhristopher Adams’s LA Times crossword – Derek’s write-up Not wild about bits like NEZ BOS ELIA, but they’re legit fill. , ALLA-and I will confess to you that I first heard it on a Baby Einstein video, so in my mind’s eye, I see little plastic penguins on a roller coaster throughout the piece. Google tells me there’s also a drinking game by that name involving a pyramid of playing cards? I lost interest in learning more. Nice to see an alternative to the pre-Revolution Iranian emperor (and Persia still gets its shout-out with poet RUMI).
Between HOLLER’s clue, “it’s a whole thing,” and “side hustle,” this puzzle is steeped in current language. If you sell your quilts or give guitar lessons but that’s not your day job, it’s your side hustle. “Did you know there are people who livestream their speed-solving of crosswords? It’s a whole thing now.” I like the clue’s mislead that leans on contemporary usage. Dang it! I filled in NOBLE at 1d, and the -LE bit worked with the crossings. They sound rather less affectionate with that clue! As in “If you want to borrow that book I told you about, HOLLER at me.” We’ll also need a Blue Testament and a Borrowed Testament. Other fill I’m partial to: BEAR HUGS (and right near an OTTER!), DEEP-SIXES, TAKE THE L, SHEBANG, GLAMPING, and SET PIECE. If you’re going to include a patty of some sort in your grid, where better to place it that right in the middle, between the buns and such? Congrats on your NYT debut, Miriam! And congrats on choosing such terrific partners-Erik and Andy are two of the kindest and most talented crossword professionals out there.Īnyway-this puzzle is one square wider than usual, to accommodate the central IMPOSSIBLE BURGER. May I grouse for a moment about the NYT crossword’s parochial insistence on pretending the rest of the puzzleverse barely exists? Tonight’s Wordplay post says, right in the headline, “Miriam Estrin makes her crossword debut.” She actually debuted in February, with a Universal crossword co-constructed by Andy Kravis.
