Tomorrow's NYT Sunday puzzle will entertain you

When I first tried it this morning, I was totally lost. Put it down for a half hour and aha! Whizzed through it with one cheat - 42 A.

I can almost guarantee that even the best of you will give it a nod and a “Not bad.”

Three cheers for Oliver Hill, who composed it. :slight_smile:

Time machine? Temporal anomaly? Mutant space-time manipulation powers?

Probably the early edition. Some papers put it out on Saturday, with minimal news, but all of the filler sections. I buy my Sunday paper on Saturday, so I have something to read if the nightshift is slow

Heh. I thought only the Chicago Sun-Times did that*…

*Sorry…my mother was an avid watcher of “Early Edition”…

I get the magazine on Saturdays a lawoot suggested.

And in this neck of woods we get it a week later.

I’m such a bad spelling that I was getting all the misspelled answers without even knowing what was going on. Eventually the middle “theme” clue told me.

Don’t feel bad, K364, I did some of that, too, and I’m a fairly good speller!! Well, I thought I was. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Now, off to amazon to check out Wlkfi’s 297b and 364.

*Please Note: that’s Wolfi’s

For those of us who are crossword fans but don’t get the times, can you tell us what made this puzzle so special? I think the spoiler period has passed.

The themed words were among the most misspelled words in (American?) English. And these words were all misspelled. It was very cleverly constructed. I’ll look around for the magazine, hoping I haven’t tnrown it out and if not, will list the words—as they appeared in the puzzle, of course.

Oh crap! I threw it out.

Maybe someone else will come to the rescue. K364, can you accomodate (:smiley: ) Robot Arm?

Sure thing…

Here’s the puzzle answers - the clues aren’t particularly interesting or clever so I won’t give you those, but have a look and then check the spoiler for the correct spellings.

I was watching my new 2-DVD set of Amadeus (Director’s Cut) when I tuned in here. Thank you so much!!

Hey** K364**…

I’m starting another thread here in Cafe Society, asking for among other things,a recommendation for the best DVD of The Marriage of Figaro.

Hope to hear from you.
