Welcome to Sunday Puzzle, a weekly series for people who enjoy mental exercise spiced with politics, humor, odd bits of trivia, and the occasional furry animal.
The gremlins suggested devoting this weekend to clearing the slate a bit on unsolved puzzles. One row of last Sunday’s puzzle went unsolved last week, so I used last night’s Sunday Puzzle Warm-Up to provide a hint for solving that row *. And no one has yet figured out what the verticals from the puzzle two weeks ago (“swindle delight ”) mean, so tonight’s puzzle provides the answer to that mystery.
Tonight’s puzzle is waiting for you just below the asterisked note which you really don’t need to waste your time reading. Hurry on down and let’s get tonight’s puzzle party started!
*and discovered in the process that a key reason it went unsolved is because the add-on letters from the answers didn’t match the verticals. Oops!
