@Kirk: Thanx for the new Runtpuz wing. And, yes, I did ask Google AI to generate a solvable 7 by 7 crossword with clues and answers. I could hear AI snicker a runty mwah-har-har, tho, when it generated that first Down answer. It's the only one that looks like it might be a word [but still ain't].
p.s. M&A did *not* ask it for a desperate word square, btw.
I finished but when I came back to it, it looked like I hadn't hit Summary. I hit "check solution" and now it looks like I finished in zero minutes, a record!
Thanks! I didn't understand the theme clues, I think Bob had the same problem. I see solves for Teedmn and Bob, but no comments here. Maybe the blog is not working for them.
re: the “Curses!!” theme mcguffin… Answers to the three “curses foiled again” clues are: TINS, PAS, and TES. But they then each have a “foil” tacked on: namely, FOIL, SWORD, and EPEE.
I had exactly the same thoughts as @Teedmn when I had finished. I had no idea about the theme clues. I don't want anyone to think I had it all figured out while I was solving, I spent longer than I should have post solve to figure out the gimmick.
@Kirk - We have been to a coupla areas in Canada: Victoria/Vancouver area and Hamilton/Toronto area. Lotsa provinces we've not gotten to visit and enjoy, tho. M&A
