Certainly the hardest this week and, in my opinion, less pleasant. Need electronic help with several. Bunged in 1a, but needed the clues to understand parsing. I should have had the Times reference. The last time we went to NY, traffic was banned from the area as an experience, and we were able to sit back and have a quiet breakfast in the middle! I always tried to do an angram of 11a (my doctor and t). It`s silly. I thought it was a proximal day when I had the J and X and I was desperately looking for a Z-pangram. But it helped me get 1a and hoped the V would be in my last 19d. Sorry to Jay for the confusion and thanks for the funny crossword puzzles. Thanks to the 2kiwis for the evaluation. 1a Fair Trade Agreement negotiated by Times, perhaps (6.4) SQUARE DEAL: What Times as a New York location is a example of, it follows a synonym for an agreement under negotiation. Please tolerate an ignorant person who hopes that one day she will enigmatically finish the DT on her own, even if it takes all day! I just discovered your site, Big Dave, and I think I love you! I`ve been doing the crossword puzzles since the lockdown started six weeks ago in the UK.
My dear father would always finish in 30 minutes, but I`m lucky if I can get 25% without having to find the answers. But your wonderful side gives me a clue rather than the answer (just like my father) that is so helpful. I still have a hard time cheating, but I`m getting better. Thank you very much! Von Ascot, UK Realised today was halfway through Wednesday through Jay`s crossword puzzles. Weekend of 14 days Quickly enigmatic. This time, it`s my turn to ensure a more crucibal conversation. Here you will find the last crossword, which has a bit of a zoological theme. Have a good time! And if anyone is interested in our previous offers, you`ll find a hint here.
One constant in these difficult times is Jay`s crossword, as excellent as usual this week. Thanks to the Setter and 2Kiwis. The best clues for me were 11a, 9d and 16d. I read 17d as a charade that combines a verb to crack and a term for a shooter. The brilliant enigma of the Wednesday cross, as Gazza says, it`s so nice to have something you can count on right now. I thought it was Jay`s delicate side – or that I was just suffering from a confused hemisphere? I love spolomerisms, but I`ve never had the second track 7d – never heard of it. I got 1a for the wrong reason – I thought `Times` = `multiply` = `square` – oh, never. I missed the 10a Lurker — something else that doesn`t change. Try to make 3D an animator (revitalization) of culture, including a scam. Overall, a bit of a pig`s ear really, but on the plus side, I remembered the 16d key. Thanks to Jay and the 2K. I liked the 6, 27a and 9d.
I also discovered this wonderful blog about two years ago, and my solution capabilities have increased dramatically. Before I started, I was like you and I could only have a quarter of the crossword puzzles. For me too, cheating with cryptics does not exist. It doesn`t matter how to get the answer as long as you understand why it`s the answer. Fraud is not for crossword puzzle tests and exams that are for fun. What a puzzle of jay quality all along the way. It was nice to sit back, relax and leave. How do stters maintain quality? Organization of gardening work a little every day, that is, crossword puzzles done in the afternoon….
