This puzzle was great fun to create. It’s another one of those where a constructor starts by saying “I’d probably never be able to find 5 entries like …”, and then goes on to prove himself wrong. Luckily, these sorts of puzzles usually end up being great fun to solve, even if they start out as nothing but an academic exercise. Try it for yourself and see if you agree. As usual, we provide you with two different sets of clues: the hard version, and the still-pretty-hard-but-not-quite-as-nasty version. (Sorry — there were just too many fun clue possibilities to go for the truly easy experience.) Let us know what you think and which version you preferred. We always like to see comments.
Title: Make Mine a Double
Difficulty (hard): Saturday
Download (hard): Across Lite or printable PNG (w/ solution)
Difficulty (easy): Thursday
Download (easy): Across Lite or printable PNG
I usually use both sets of clues on these.
I was thinking that maybe a “subject” for the double clue versions might be “Easy to be Hard” like the Three Dog Night song.
