Solution

About the Feature Crossword...

In case you haven't noticed, I have a soft spot for Scrabble. And I know that Scrabble players - even the ones who love crosswords - really hate seeing words that are not allowed in their beloved word game. The reason for this, of course, is that seeing a word can cement it in the brain leading a player to play a phoney in a Scrabble game.

So, to take care of my precious herd, in my puzzles I have made sure that every single answer is a valid Scrabble word! That's right - each and every clue in my feature crossword has an answer that can be found in the Official Scrabble Dictionary.

A Few Conventions

If you haven't attempted one of my crosswords before, note the following convention I use...

If a clue consists of a sequence of uppercase letters separated by hyphens, the answer is an anagram of that word. The answer to the clue T-R-I-G-L-Y-P-H-S, for example, is SPRIGHTLY, since this word is the only anagram of these letters.
