The NYT acrostic yesterday.

I look forward to the acrostic now, almost as much as the Xword. But yesterday’s was bull-crap.

Dreadfully easy for any Shakespeare scholar. Could I say “dreadfully impossible” for anyone who isn’t?

Sure, I can keep my Montagues and Capulets separate, but quotes about mobs, stuff from Coriolanus, Titus, locations, minor characters.

If you’re going to grill the “general knowledge guy”, keep it on the level of “shylock” and “puck”.

I (think) I nailed the select few that weren’t Shakepeare, but it wasn’t nearly enough to start back-filling the clue-answers. I think the only thing I figured out was that what I thought was Elsinore wasn’t Elsinore, and I might be wrong about that.

I kind of just bulled my way into it, writing in Yorick, and Egypt for a couple answers, but danged if I knew.

Anyone here work that bad boy out?

I’m pretty far from a Shakespeare scholar but I do try to keep somewhat up to date for general trivia purposes. Luckily, not much changes.

You may have been right about Elsinore. The four-word title should be gettable as long as you’ve heard of the play.
