Today's crossword was titled "Sports Nuts", and that pretty much sums up the theme - a series of answers that involved some aspect of sports, as suggested by a punny clue. For example, 22A, Your ex's new date whom you just can't stand?, OFFENSIVEREBOUND. Beyond the sporting motif, there were some interesting clues. For example:
- the startlingly difficult to pronounce 30A, There are 24 in a cuboctahedron, EDGES (the unpronounceable word, for the record, being cuboctahedron, not EDGES).
- the mysterious 79D. Instrument that's a homophone of 69D, VIOL (the mystery being what's the difference between a homophone and a homonym).
to name just two. A fine crossword, we give it 4.5 squares on the JAMCR scale.
