Happy *glances at the calendar* Saturday? That’s right, today’s crossword was delayed by a day despite being completed a few days ago. Why? IRL shenanigans. I didn’t have time earlier this week to write this intro so here we are now! It’s funny, I finished today’s grid back on Monday and dictionary.com ended up having 54-Across as their Word of the Day this week. To be honest, I had not heard of the word before making this crossword, but frequency illusion is a thing and I’m now seeing 54-Across everywhere.
So, what about the rest of the crossword? Well, it’s a 15x15 grid with standard symmetry. You’ll notice that there are chunky bits of 9 and 10-letter words stacked with each other. The CPU processor on my computer was not happy with me wanting to make those stacks, but I got it to work.
In website news, there will be a brief break coming up. I need time to get the 100th puzzle completed, and I’m still not satisfied with its grid. I have conflicting ideas of what I want out of the puzzle, and I’ll need to decide which path to take soon. Until then, there’s still crossword 99 which will probably be a Teeny Tuesday. Until then, happy solving!
