Today's crossword was a "relatively" straightforward Saturday crossword. Â Saturdays are always tough, and this was by no means a walk in the park, but neither was it a rope-free climb of El Capitan. There were a few surprising clues in the grid -- most notably 27A, "That's so relatable," in modern slang, MOOD -- a very modern clue for an ancient answer, which made its first appearance on New Year's Eve, 1944. And right next to that we had the very witty 29A, Aquarius is one, perhaps surprisingly, AIRSIGN (nice!). And one that was a novelty (to Mike, at any rate: Jean, no doubt, is on their mailing list), 26A, ___ Dunn (brand of ceramic art and other housewares), RAE.
We have more fascinating facts inside, so have a listen, and, as usual, please let us know what you think!
Show note imagery: Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap", now in it's 73rd-ish year!!
