Couldn't crack the cross at 5D and 19A (the middle word at 19A somehow didn't appear to me until that letter was dropped in) and couldn't figure out how to get another letter into 55D. Really fun, glad I got the easiest one so far as my first else I'd have been in some trouble!Keenan Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591047084184331277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800732484341088267.post-84867989036583149662014-01-03T03:38:52.480-06:002014-01-03T03:38:52.480-06:00The Robbins was the last for me too, though I did ...The Robbins was the last for me too, though I did manage to figure out the reading afterwards (with some effort).<br /><br />Fave was 7D, and all the long downs were solid. Actually, pretty much everything was solid.

I wouldn't ever use them as grid-spanning seeds in a vowelless, but both times they've been the only entries that would fit.Bananarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681755716120596689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800732484341088267.post-66072135309076462682013-12-31T11:41:29.532-06:002013-12-31T11:41:29.532-06:00Loving the vowelless.

So he's broken me every time :).<br />(I couldn't parse 46A for a letter, but that was my brain cramp).<br />Lots of fun here, and the clues are just about in that sweet spot for a vowelless, where you need the extra push to help explain the long answers when needed.<br /><br />Thanks!Howard Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766792795622192271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800732484341088267.post-59742019439214095332013-12-31T10:01:42.007-06:002013-12-31T10:01:42.007-06:00impressive. still way too hard for me. impressive. still way too hard for me. e.a.http://gluttonforpun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
