![]() Before I got the EYE part, I had -EAR and decided the "and such" of the clue indicated some kind of GEAR. Found " OH, SNAP!" ( 1D: Comment after a zinger) and " MAKE ME!" ( 2D: "You and whose army?!") pretty hard too, and EYEWEAR, oof, that's where I had my wrong square ( 3D: Shades and such). So I really struggled in NW, far more than anywhere else. Kept wanting HIDEO, which I knew was wrong (HIDEO Nomo is a former baseball pitcher of some note. I knew his first name started with "H" and ended in "O," but after that I was lost. But it turns out I know him *only* by his last name. I watched "Spirited Away" (not for the first time) just a few months ago. It's always nice to have the revealer produce a genuine "aha," as this one did, but it's also important that the solving experience was enjoyable on the way to that "aha," and today, for me, for the most part, it was.įelt bad that I got very badly crushed by HAYAO. And every one of these themers is a shiny little answer in its own right, theme or no theme. If the execution's original, there you go. You can take a basic, even a fairly tired, theme-type and execute it so originally and neatly that no one will care about theme originality. ![]() Really feels like I've seen it before, but when the execution (that is to say, the actual answers you use for your FRUIT outsides) is so colorful and vivid, that's really all that matters. Luckily, this is really the only complaint I have about this theme, which is nicely executed. Again, a lawyer for this puzzle will tell you that the clue only says "outside" and you can't deny blah blah blah but this is the outside of something you have already labeled as an outside and so "zest" suffers from non-equivalency, boo. It's not akin to peel, it is, in fact, a subset of peel. We'll start with the one significant problem with this theme, which is one of these four is not like the others, and that one is "zest." There's no doubt that "zest" does indeed come from the outside of a FRUIT (commonly, a lemon or lime), but zest the other three (peel rind skin) are complete outer coverings, whereas "zest" is only the very outer layer of that covering.
