COULD YOU REWORD THAT, PLEASE?
Puzzle by Daniel C. Bryant, edited by Will Shortz
CLAYMANEXEMPTION (23A. Tax break for Gumby?);
SEALOVEAPPROVAL (35A. Blessing for a shipboard romance?);
MAYDOUBTAWILL (56A. Perhaps doesn’t believe witty Rogers?);
KEYPAWNMOVING (76A. End-game maneuvers?);
MINEDOVERMATTER (92A. Excavate in the white cliffs?);
GRAYTOILEOFCHINA (110A. Drab Oriental fabric?);
DRAWPINCENTERS (16D. Sketch sewing-kit stores?); and
MYLAUGHTERMILE (46D. Clown’s parade memoir?) are the inter-related entries in this very sound Sunday crossword puzzle.
Of course, we hear “Claim an exemption; seal of approval; made out a will; keep on moving; mind over matter; Great Wall of China; drop-in centers; and mile after mile." Or perhaps we don’t -- the title of this puzzle is different in the electronic version -- e.g., Sound Moves.
Silence is golden, so that's it for today -- here, hear! A sound decision -- eh?!
