DENSE FOREST (21A. Thick growth of trees), OBTUSE ANGLE (49A. It’s more than 90 degrees), SLOW-COOKER (3D. Crockpot) and DUMBWAITER (29D. Tray transporter) are the interrelated entries of this Monday back-to-work crossword.
This smart little beginning-of-the-week crossword is rife with variety -- a few links:
HOOSEGOW (37D. Lockup); ABOMB (32A. W.W. II-ending weapon, for short); MINOS (47D. Mythical king of Crete); SILENT (44D. Like 33-Down’s films), that’s BARA (33D. Theda of early films).
EXIT (58A. Door to the outside).
