SUNDAY<\/span> PUZZLE <\/strong><\/a>–<\/strong><\/span>Hello everyone! My name is Tobin and I\u2019m so stoked to share my first ever Sunday crossword! Playing the New York Times crossword (and other games) has been a favorite pastime of mine for a while now, so being able to contribute to the Michigan Daily Games is quite surreal. Completing this puzzle was pretty rewarding, so I hope you have as much fun solving as I had making it!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any specific feedback or suggestions on the puzzle, feel free to reach out to me at <\/span>tobinsax@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>. More general concerns or questions can be sent to <\/span>crosswords@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>. Happy solving!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tricky Clues<\/strong><\/p>\n

9A. This is one of those random words I see pop up in crosswords, and when I realized it would fit in mine, I thought why not! The clue \u201cMonks\u2019 hoods\u201d refers to COWLS<\/p>\n

16A. \u201cPosition powers?\u201d doesn\u2019t refer to power in politics or business, but rather the two modes a light switch can be in: ONOFF. <\/p>\n

24A. \u201cClub alternatives?\u201d could be so many things because as I just realized, club can mean so many things. But I am referring to lunchtime here where BLTS are alternatives to club sandwiches. <\/p>\n

39A. Another one of those random words. An \u201cArchaic term for jar or pot\u201d is CRUSE. <\/p>\n

3D. You might be inclined to think \u201cTake the edge off?\u201d has to do with relaxing, but really it refers to smoothing a landscape, or to ERODE. <\/p>\n

33D. I couldn\u2019t find a way to clue this word for what it is<\/em>, so I chose to clue what it isn\u2019t<\/em>: \u201cYellow fruit rind that doesn’t make you slip\u201d refers to LEMONPEEL.<\/p>\n

Today’s Theme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I kept today\u2019s theme pretty simple, as it was my first time constructing a Sunday crossword. However, if you didn\u2019t pay attention during art in kindergarten or first grade, you might\u2019ve had a harder time figuring it out. The three theme words are at 20-Across with REDRIDINGHOOD, 31-Across with YELLOWTAIL, and 41-Across with BLUECOLLAR. And as the revealer clue hints: the beginning of these words are all the primary colors, which are foundational to an artist\u2019s palette!\u00a0<\/p>\n
