The toughest crossword of the week lives up to its reputation, with a stunning array of deceitful clues. Easily the best, and for which the crossword constructors should win either an award or jail time, is 3D, Answer that would be more apt at 10 Down, TOES. What makes this so sneaky is the writing of 10 Down rather than 10-Down. The latter is the NYTimes crossword's convention for clue references: the former, 10 Down, refers to a person's toes. Two other clues of note: 41A, Digital applications?, PRESSONS, 34A, Like popping bubble wrap, for many, ODDLYSATISFYING, not even close to what Mike had originally posited, HIGHLYADDICTIVE. All in all, a great crossword -- definitely a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale -- and for more details, download and listen up!We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
