Friday, March 18, 2022 - JOYCE Bryant, aka The Belter
Today's crossword was a toughie. Both Jean & Mike flailed about in the northwest corner, where some deliciously EVIL (and we say that in the best possible sense of the word, and also because EVIL happened to be one of the answers!) cluing made for a hard slog. The rest of the grid was no cakewalk either, but still, we like a challenge, and doff our hats to the constructors, and would rate this a definite 5 squares on the JAMCR scale. We love feedback!
