Leftovers
Friday, November 28, 2008 Puzzle by Joe Krozel, edited by Will Shortz
Ten 15-letter entries are the main dish of this Friday crossword:
SHIVER ME TIMBERS (16A. Cry on a corsair); CREATIVE LICENSE (22A. Something exercised by artists); THE COST OF LIVING (34A. It’s high in Manhattan); PENTATONIC SCALE (44A. Music theory subject); STING OPERATIONS (52A. Plans to nail suspects); CRIME PREVENTION (2D. Goal of a neighborhood watch); SERVICE STATIONS (5D. Island locales); THERES NO I IN TEAM (6D. Coaching cliché); CRITICAL ACCLAIM (8D. Great all-around reviews); DOESNT GIVE A HOOT (10D. Is totally apathetic).
All those long entries result in a dozen mid-size bland entries, the usual leftovers, and scraps.
