THEME: none, but two triple gangs bisected by a 15-letter word
GOOD ONES: DISCOMBOBULATED across the center is word I'll bet you haven't seen in a crossword. Those with lists may have the word, but for most it's a new entry. The same may be true of
RAZZMATAZZ. That both appear in the same puzzle seems doubly unusual.
Admired speaker BOSE [not orator]
BTW: Lock arrangement COIF [I saw on
Elementary last night a lock arrangement, but it was padlocks. (The show is great fun.)]
Site of many rolls CRAPS TABLE [I embarrassingly admit to having thought "spa for old men."]
I enjoyed the unusual fill thoughout, and the five
Z's and two
X's.
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
