twickster: would you mind linking that new thread in here when you start? Just sounds really interesting…
Will do. Just emailed “cluinghowto” to myself at home; I’ll put something together tonight.
Thanks for the commentary! I was wondering about those easy ones–I didn’t want to make them too easy, so I discarded some of my more obvious ones. Maybe I should have left them in.
At any rate, it was a fun exercise; and once more, thank you for the comments!
As promised, I started a separate clue-writing how-to and challenge: it’s over yonder.
I really expected someone would have mentioned “work unit” - “erg” by now.
Or “ohm”: resistance unit.
Another one I never encountered before doing crossword puzzles: ELAN, meaning joy or elation
Anyone with good knowledge of the French & Spanish ones? They always ask for French articles & seasons…
One they always have in word matrixes (or whatever they’re called), but almost never in crosswords: AVER (to assert authoritatively.)
Summer in Paris - ete
Sea Eagle - ern or erne (apparently depending on how many slots they have to fill)
