Usain Bolt is a very fast runner, and “bolt” also means “to run very fast.”Ģ2D. I enjoyed the clue “Like Usain Bolt’s last name” for APT. Bond, James Bond, is a special AGENT.ġ2D. In the clue “Bond is a special one,” the word “one” is standing in for the entry. Perhaps the question mark is there to note that “long story short” is also a common expression one might use before RECAPping.ĦD. I’m a little curious about the question mark in the clue “Make a long story short?” As I mentioned above, the question mark generally means that there is a pun or some sort of wordplay, but I think RECAP is a pretty straightforward interpretation of the clue. That said, it is a very funny mental image.ĥD. Under what circumstances would a person attend a holiday party as a SEXY ELF?

I almost spat out my coffee at the clue-and-entry pair “Risqué costume for a holiday party” for SEXY ELF. STET is the way a proofreader says, “Actually, don’t delete this” the word is Latin for “let it stand.”ĢD. (Today I Learned) that TALI is another word for “Anklebones.”Ħ5A.

The clue “Strike from the Bible?” contains a question mark, which indicates wordplay. In this case, the “Federal loan agcy.” is the SBA, or Small Business Administration.Ģ8A. When a crossword clue contains an abbreviation, like “agcy.” in the clue “Federal loan agcy.,” you know the entry will also contain an abbreviation.

In fact, my first thought opening this puzzle was, “Well now, that’s an odd-looking grid!” I know not every solver is going to immediately spot what’s different about this one, so I’m excited to geek out about that at the end of the column.
