puzzle #63: themeless #13

if i ever got around to submitting puzzles to an outlet, i think this crossword would find a perfect home at the new york times in their reject pile. too many aussie references. a few overly-long clues. a marquee entry not fit for will shortz's breakfast buffet. merry christmas. bon appétit.

puzzle #42: themeless #6

i've been experimenting with low word count themeless grids lately

and i finally managed to crack sixty-six words in a 15x15 grid!

it's all thanks to patrick berry's sage advice:

"when choosing between adding dodgy entries and adding cheaters, always go for the cheaters"

great advice!
