LAT Sun. 8/21 Pamela Amick Klawitter
(1/1)
magus:
Scrambled Signals
:)
Popular tank fillers TETRAS
Xing people? PEDS
This and that THESE
Dress with a flare ALINE [not flair]
Theme: anagrams in phrases clued by other words in the grid --- seems amazingly difficult to construct since for each theme phrase Pamela had to include an appropriate anagram.
CHANGEOFHEART clued by EARTH [and all the others were as good]
;)
HOLA, ETES, and ENEROS are foreign words with no particular English usage; but TEAMO was clued not with, say, “Pepe’s cooing” but by the cigar brand’s competitor, White Owl, both once very popular. [Amazingly I still have my grandfather’s cigar boxes of both brands.]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
