Ryan solves the NYT, Fri 12-26-8
Only time for a quick post today. Holidays, family, food, food coma, etc. Today’s offering is another great puzzle by Brendan Emmett Quigley. ( I wonder if he’s ever seen the Tom Selleck movie, Quigley Down Under?) How does Brendan find the time to write all of these puzzles? He’s got 3 a week on his blog, plus puzzles for the Onion and where ever else he gets published. And on top of all that, the puzzles are all very good. And today’s is no exception.
I just barely no-googled this one. The cross of ET SEQ with EADIE gave me fits and that first E was the very last letter I entered.
A few of my favorites were a BOX SEAT which is where you might see a hit and run, XOXOXOXO for Love Letters, Dr. Ruth as a SEXPERT and a clue I’ve never seen before for EL AL (Company whose slogan is “Home away from home”). I could go on and on about the great answers in this puzzle but, unfortunately, I don’t have the time.
I hope everybody is having a great holiday season.
Great puzzle, Brendan.
Next stop, Saturday.
