(1/1)
magus:
THEME: none, but four triples & 27 blocks
GOOD ONES:
Summer, at times CPA [he adds]
They don't sound as welcoming as they are HOSTELS
Run-off facilitators STORM DRAINS
Who's sorry now RUER [note no question mark (and not Connie Francis' song)]
BTW:
"…and the ORB below/As hush as death" is not a quote I remember despite having studied Hamlet very closely --- perhaps it was "ages and ages hence."
Literary count, familiarly DRAC [there was a funny song called something like "Dinner with Drac" by Don Zacherle]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
Thomps2525:
Six 8-letter words and six 11-letter words and only 27 black squares---a very nice challenging puzzle.
What is the smallest number of black squares appearing in any crossword? Would it be possible to construct a 15X15 grid with no black squares? Many of the answers would probably be quite unusual and bizarre but is there any logical reason why such a puzzle couldn't be created?
