Puzzle by Frederick J. Healy, edited by Will Shortz
Very conversational today: OHWOW (10A), NONEATALL (17A); EATIT (21A); BIG TALK (36A); QUOTED (2D); WAITASEC (12D); IVEHADIT (37D), GETALIFE (38D); EMOTION (42D), SOS (43A)!
People: DUANE Hanson, Sam SNEAD, somebody ABBY, ELAYNE Boosler, EILEEN(S) Collins, ODIE and ODIST, TESLA, Alexandre DUMAS. Places: AUSTRALIA, PALACES, CONCOURSE. Food: SALSADIP, SPICE, and SLOPS. Not much happening here.
Placements: SQUEEGEES, AUSTRALIA and NONEATALL stacked across up left, AIRINGOUT, CONCOURSE, KNEEPANTS down left. Up right vertically, WAITASEC, ONTIPTOE, WESTERNS, down left BORABORA, IVEHADIT, GETALIFE. SIMOLEON, OVERDONE, and KNAPSACK sort of hung out to dry in the center; INBORN and ROBUST stuck down left. SPOTS and EYES, REV and RET, NOB, NOP and NOS, little stuff -- what’s not to like?
Not a dull word in the house!
