DIRTY WORK AT THE CROSS WORDS

By Neophyte

Perhaps you agonized over Neophyte’s creation in the First Series. Here’s its mate. Neophyte, being a hardened veteran of the cryptic art, must have heard the groans from the breasts of puzzlers poring over his brain buster. And he gloated and went at his fell work again. However, this one is a little easier than the other.

HEY, THERE!

By Neophyte

Dear Neophyte: Whaddaye mean by those two bare, indecently naked words, each with three unkeyed letters? An expert like you? However, you tried too hard to keep it down to the level of ordinary mankind and restrained yourself from so many outlandish words that you are addicted to—that, we believe, the puzzlers will forgive you.

SPOT

By Irvan Neckerman
