The pain in my toches with constructing this one was the lower left. The framework was 19-Across/25-Across/54-Across/7-Down (OK, it’s not a symmetric framework, but it’s how this puzzle started), and those four didn’t budge even from the moment when this puzzle was just a twinkle in its constructor’s eye. The rest of the puzzle went like clockwork… and I even got in another word from the seed list at 37-Down. But the lower left, for some reason, didn’t come to me as easily as the rest.
My favorite thing that I learned from this puzzle is the origin of the word “laconic” as in 47-Down. If you do a little background reading on it, it’s pretty entertaining.
As always, I’d like to know, folks… comment is welcome! Come say hello! What did you like? What could I do better?
As always, share this link! Pass it around! New freestyle puzzle on Tuesday!
