HIS PRIDE AND JOY

A HARD NUT TO CRACK

By J. T. D.

Get out nutcracker, hammer, tongs and poker, for there are words in here that the English language doesn’t know it owns. J. T. D. is absolutely ruthless when it comes to cornering the odd and unusual word, and the unheard-of definition. This puzzle is included especially to show you to what lengths the innocent Cross Word can go when it tries.
