Like Carola, favoured the great homonym at 1d and 15d. 2/3 rated. Thanks to E&H for an enjoyable puzzle and Falcon for the review.smaugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-20333115964460667472016-04-23T22:43:46.294-04:002016-04-23T22:43:46.294-04:00Hi Carola,

Like others, I, too, had trouble with the NE corner. I finally decided that 5a ended in A, although I wasn't sure which end of the clue was the definition. But the A allowed me to see 8d, and a wrong guess that 5d's "like" would be "ala" let me hear the opera star and finish things up. Favorite clue was 1d.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-90854373239310139602016-04-23T16:47:56.337-04:002016-04-23T16:47:56.337-04:00Hi Henry,

As for your comments on "row", I certainly can't disagree.Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466858757398776500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-81723549445217958432016-04-23T13:07:05.333-04:002016-04-23T13:07:05.333-04:00A beautiful, cool Saturday to everyone! Like Falco...A beautiful, cool Saturday to everyone! Like Falcon, after I filled in the relatively easy clues, I saw that the upper right hand quadrant was almost empty. One problem was trying to find a solution for 5d that started with 'ex.' When I realized my error, the rest I finished off with the help of the checking letters. Last one in was 8d, but I'm not convinced 'row' is a good synonym. See you all next week!<br />Henry Henryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-33974152414509310312016-04-23T12:40:09.085-04:002016-04-23T12:40:09.085-04:00Good day Falcon et al,
