I think there were several 'unfair' crosses, besides kombu/keith (and ics - what was with that plural?)and latria/yeans. Aoley/isao/leonora, Darias/Lan were two. Also, the strange use of nub as center. And, for me with my actual NYT in hand, the lack of circles (and this is the way it was meant to be?!) combined with the other theme fill meant I just never figured on the rebus, and had several other problem areas! Yes, I like a challenge, but not of this sort. Arthurian theme was fine, just not the tricks!<br />Altogether, this week I preferred Saturday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613816125453172823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-64848375033699849522009-07-27T11:12:25.600-04:002009-07-27T11:12:25.600-04:00Sub-theme:

I had shabu for 69d for the longest time. Latria crossing yeans was a big fat ick, but I guessed right, apparently. Java, same thing, got from the crosses and totally made sense. <br />Please don't take this wrong, dear, but this was not a "stunt puzzle."<br />PS Sorry for tooting a horn, Rex.
