Gone on Vacation

I won't have access to the Tribune Crossword (now the LA Times Crossword) for the next couple of months. I hope to return in the fall.

In the meantime, you can always check out the puzzle on the LA Times website.

See you in September!

04/18/09: Put a Lid on It!


For those of you who have asked for a blank of the puzzles, you can now go to The Chicago Tribune website.

For the puzzle above, select the puzzle of April 19, 2009 and click on "CLICK." And, guess what, it's no longer the Chicago Tribune crossword, it's now the LATimes crossword. What's that all about?

They'll let you print a blank one too.

03/21/09: Parting Words



John Hodgson suggests that 58 A should be SEEYAPATER
Which would make 32D CLUMPS ... which certainly seems more likely than "CLUMLS" but I don't have the clues anymore.

Read the comments for lots more corrections.
