Take a three-word phrase – an adjective, conjunction and adjective – that means “brief yet still satisfying or to-the-point” (like the clues a talented crossword puzzle editor will always produce). Write it in uppercase letters. 

Abbreviate the conjunction by deleting twoletters. Rotate the remaining letter 90-degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Replace the first letter of the third word with a duplicate of  its last letter.

The first six letters of the result spell the surname of the above-mentioned crossword puzzle editor. 

The remaining letters spell a post made on a certain online message service run by a “Musk(m)elon.”

What is the phrase? Who is the puzzle editor? What if the post?

Quizzical Quintet Appetizer:

Crockett and Spock and Matt Dillon, Kris Kringle, H. Truman!

Note: The following “quizzical quintet” was created and contributed by a gifted “puzzlesmith” and friend of Puzzleria!

Creatures Connected...

1. 🐢🐬Davy Crockett. Matt Dillon. Kris Kringle. Spock. Harry S. Truman.

All are icons in one way or another. Some are fictional, others are historical.

There is an additional connection among them; and an alternative identity of one of them contains consecutive letters which name a creature that plays a big part in the connecting point for them. 

What connects them? What is the creature? 

Roamin’ deities?

2. 🏃🏃Think of something often shown between the names of two Roman deities. 

Those deities are generally known for having opposing reputations. 

What is  that “something?”

HINT: The name of that “something” often shown between the names of two Roman deities is an anagram of the name of a human body part.

Synonymous Civvies?

3. 👚🕴A puzzle contributor to “The Remarkable Times” submitted: “Take the names of two clothing items that are synonyms. 

Put them in reverse alphabetical order. (For example, “Caps, Hats” would be written as “Hats, Caps” because “H” comes after “C”
alphabetically.)

The result is a two-word description of places where the items can be found.” 

An alert reader of “The Times” and Puzzleria! noticed that if a series of consecutive internal letters in the two words of that solution is removed, the remaining letters can be arranged to name an object often depicted along with the “something” that is the Appetizer #2 solution. What is it?

“Verbing” an adjective 

4. 💃What word is an adjective meaning “intricate” or “elegant” but is also a verb meaning “to explain or develop in great detail?” (This adjective and verb are spelled the same but their last syllables are pronounced differently.) 

“It was a dark and stormy night...”

5. 🌩⛈Drafting on a dark and stormy night, a puzzle contributor was interrupted by an event. 

The event contains six letters and is seemingly not uncommon in various forms and instances, especially in dark and stormy times. 

If a consonant is inserted midway in the word for that event, the result is a word for a common reaction if that event is of much duration. 

What are the two words? 

MENU

Louvre Hors d’Oeuvre:

Ecstatic Essex Artistry

Name a work of art that consists of a pair of letters, spelled out. For example, the letters S and X, when spelled out, are  “ess” and “ex,” which spell “Essex.”

(Best-ever first-sentence lyric: “Sin City, please don’t take my lover’s heart or mine will break.”

Worst-ever lyrical rhyme: “train” and “goin’.”)

Gas & Petrol Slice:

Unhealthy habits & hamburgers?

Write down, side-by-side, an unhealthy habit and a not-so-healthy meal, each in two words. 

The first four letters of the two middle words are identical. 

The first and fourth words are associated with a one-word anagram of a two-word phrase describing what gasoline and petroleum do. 

What are this habit and meal?

What is the one-word anagram of a two-word phrase describing what gasoline and petroleum do?

Riffing Off Shortz And Scheinberg Entrees:

What are the five-letter games and six-letter first name? 

Who is this puzzle-maker?

Who are the young men who excel at one of the games?

Note: Entrees #2 through #7 are terrific prime-timely riffs created by our friend Nodd. 

ENTREE #2

Name a U.S. state capital. Then take a geographical name that can refer to a town in England, a group of islands in the Atlantic, or a mountain range in New England. The result is a menu item often ordered at lunch. What is it?

ENTREE #3

Name a U.S. state capital. 

Then name a world capital. 

The names identify two varieties of the same fruit. 

What are they?

ENTREE #4

Name three state capitals located in the eastern, western, and northern areas of the U.S. 

The eastern capital, followed by an anagram of five consecutive interior letters of the western capital, followed by the first three letters of the northern capital, name a popular dessert. What is the dessert, and what are three state capitals?

ENTREE #5

Name a European capital. 

Add to it the last three letters of an eastern U.S. state capital, plus one additional vowel. 

The letters, in order, name a dinner entree featured in certain ethnic restaurants. 

What is the entree, and what are the two capital cities?

ENTREE #6

Take the name of a country. 

Switch the first and third letters. 

Then replace the fourth letter with the vowel that precedes it in the alphabet. 

The letters, in order, name a dessert item. 

What is the country and what is the dessert item?

ENTREE #7

Take the name of a world capital. 

Copy the next-to-last letter and insert the copy between the first two letters. 

Then replace the last letter with the letter that precedes it by two places in the alphabet. 

The result names a food that is typically eaten in the U.S. at certain times of the year. 

What are the capital and the food?

ENTREE #8

Name a U.S.  state capital. Then name an ancient Mesopotamian world capital on the Persian Gulf. Say these names one after the over and phonetically you’ll get an inexpensive dinner entree. 

What is it?

ENTREE #9

Name the largest city in a U.S state and the largest city in a European country. 

Remove a synonym of “wrath” from the U.S. city. 

Replace the final three letters of the European city with one letter that has an alphanumeric
value that is ten less than the sum of those three letters. 

Place the two results next to one another to spell a fish dish.

What are these two large cities (one of which is a capital city)? What is the fish dish?

Hint: Both the state and country begin and end with the same two letters – all four of them the same letter.

ENTREE #10

When Cockneys say this American novelist’s three-syllable first and last name – and if they stress the second syllable instead of the first and third – it sounds as if they are describing someone’s beautiful teeth: “‘ey Mate! That novelist’s teeth sure ___ ______!”

When speakers who drop the vowel sounds from short prepositions (pronouncing “to”, for example, as a schwa rather tan a long-u) say the title of a work by this  novelist aloud, the first three syllables of the result sound like a liquor made chiefly from the fermented sap of the blue agave.

Who is this novelist, and the title of one of this novelist’s works.

Brain-Cryptickling Cluemasterful Appetizer:

Thirty-six Cryptics, and counting...

Cryptic Crosswordmeister Patrick J. Berry (known also by his screen name “cranberry”) is truly a master at creating clever clues to his “fill” (the words that the solver must insert into the cryptic crossword grid.)

Take for example, this, his 36th cryptic crossword that Patrick has created for Puzzleria! 

His first clue (1. ACROSS) reads: 

1. Cryptic, I gather — latest puzzle, right?

(Patrick is noting and announcing that this is his “latest cryptic puzzle” (but, as we all hope, not his “last”) to grace the pages of Puzzleria!

And Patrick’s final clue (21. DOWN) reads: 

21. Think that’s about the end — hard to avoid!

Patrick is concluding his clues with an appropriate “that’s about the end...” and, yes, the end is indeed “hard to avoid!”

All good things (in this case, great things called “clues”!) do come to an end... at least for this puzzle...

But we all hope and trust that Patrick will keep ‘em comin’!  

If you have missed, or wish to revisit, any of Patrick’s previous 35 cryptic crosswords on Puzzleria!, here are their links:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 

15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 

26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

For those who may be new to cryptic crossword puzzles, Patrick has compiled the following list of basic cryptic crossword puzzle instructions:

Regarding the Across and Down clues and their format:

The number, or numbers, that appear in parentheses at the end of each clue indicate how many letters are in the answer.

Multiple numbers in parentheses indicate how letters are distributed in multiple-word answers. 

For example, (9) simply indicates a nine-letter word like “cranberry,” (7,9) indicates a seven-letter and nine-letter answer like “cryptic crossword,” and (4-9) indicates a four-letter and nine-letter hyphenated answer like “head-scratcher.”

For further insight about how to decipher these numbered cryptic clues, see Patrick’s “Cryptic Crossword Tutorial” in this link to his November 17, 2017 cryptic crossword.

That Tutorial appears below the grid that contains the answers in that edition of Puzzleria! 

So, to recap:

1. Patrick’s latest cryptic creation always
seems the greatest, and

2. To paraphrase Liverpudlians: “And in the end, the joy he makes is equal to the joy you take.”

Enjoy!
