Title: Fri., 7/17 Jeffrey Wechsler
Post by: magus on July 17, 2015, 07:36:54 AM

Theme:  nine words that modify HOLE

Good Ones:
Quick round {& theme}   NINE HOLES [and the nine words are evenly spaced in the grid!]
Several interesting clues throughout, but none stands out to me.

Rating:   ;D ;D

For me, one clue stood out: "Obi, e.g." The answer is SASH. The word "obi" appears so frequently in crosswords, I appreciated seeing it as a clue instead of an answer. And now I have a clever idea for someone to work on: Create a crossword filled with seldom-used words and using clues which contain the over-used words. The grid would not include ALE, ALOHA, APE, AREA, ARENA, ASP, ELI, ERE, IRA, IRE, LEI, MER, OAT, ORCA, ORE, ORO, SEA, SPA, UTE, UKE et al., but those words would be part of the clues. Merl Reagle? Jeffrey Wechsler? C.C. Burnikel? Are you up to the challenge?
