LAT Thu. 6/4 Dan Naddor's Failure Puzzle
(1/1)
magus:
VERY GOOD ONES!
"Minnesota twin?" STPAUL
"Six-pack makeup" ABS [6 abdominal muscles --- don't know how I knew]
"Dig deeply" ADORE
"Drop in the ocean" EBBTIDE
"Spot for a screwdriver" BAR
"Title character not in the cast" GODOT
BOMBS, FLOPS, TURKEYS, BUSTS, and DUDS make for a fun theme on failure. It would have been easy, however, to drop us a hint about the theme. At 39 Across the clue "Triumph" for PREVAIL might have been "Triumph, and the theme's opposite" or "Triumph, and a clue to the theme." :)
