<\/span>SUNDAY PUZZLE<\/a><\/span><\/strong> \u2014Hi! My name is Evelyn and this is my second (and sadly final) crossword for The Michigan Daily. I’ve so enjoyed being a part of The Daily and spending time with such talented people! Crosswords are something I\u2019ve always used to relax, and I hope this one provides solvers the same comfort. If you\u2019ve got feedback or thoughts on the puzzle, please do not hesitate to reach out at <\/span>evepet@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>. For anything general, head to <\/span>crosswords@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

6A. \u201cLots and lots\u201d refers to SCADS. A synonym for loads and heaps, scads is an informal term for a large quantity of something. I hadn\u2019t personally come across this word before the puzzle, but I\u2019m determined to add it to my vocabulary in the future. <\/p>\n

35A. \u201cShoe store chain\u201d refers to DSW. I\u2019m not certain how well-known DSW is, so I can understand if this threw some solvers for a loop. The fact that it\u2019s an acronym for \u201cDesigner Shoe Warehouse\u201d might be helpful context. <\/p>\n

26D. \u201cBlack licorice flavor\u201d refers to ANISE. I made the mistake of trying Good & Plenty\u2019s at a movie recently, and was not impressed. I now understand that they\u2019re essentially just black licorice, and that I should avoid anise flavor altogether.<\/p>\n

39D. \u201cBarre exercise before tendu\u201d refers to PLIE. This is a bit of a niche reference, and might have been difficult if you haven\u2019t taken a ballet class before. I took many in high school, so it is unfortunately burned into my memory that plie is the first exercise of barre, and tendu is the second. <\/p>\n

Today’s Theme:<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my best friends has an upcoming birthday. My plan is to bake her a cake, though my indecision is preventing me from even preheating the oven. The theme for this puzzle is revealed with 47A \u201cAPIECEOFCAKE.\u201d I decided to share some of the cake options I\u2019m still hemming and hawing over, such as 11-Down as UPSIDEDOWN, 17-Across as BLACKFOREST and 28-Across as MARBLE. If anyone has any recommendations, please help \u2014 anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the puzzle!<\/p>\n
