04.19.09 -- EXTRA OT
Sunday, April 19, 2009 EXTRA! EXTRA!, Puzzle by Will Nediger edited by Will Shortz There was an EXTRA EXTRA crossword on February 19th of this year, and this past Thursday, an EXTRA CT -- today, it's an EXTRA OT. More noteworthy is the crossword of August 31, 2008, titled EXTRA PLAY. In the EXTRA PLAY crossword, adding OT (Over Time, e.g., Extra Play) to say it ain't so, all the same, crystal ball, big business, school mark, lo and behold, Bard of Avon, and an act of God, produced entries of SAY IT AINT SOOT, ALLOT THE SAME, CRYSTAL BALLOT, BIGOT BUSINESS, SCHOOL MARMOT, LOOT AND BEHOLD, BARDOT OF AVON, AN ACT OF GODOT, with justifying clues. Today's crossword again adds OT -- this time it changes wrecking ball, split screen, Hello Dolly!, John Maynard Keynes, royal flush, Black Forest and Trout Quintet into WRECKING BALLOT (22A. Spoiling one's vote?); SPOTLIT SCREEN (32A. Computer monitor at the center of attention?); OTHELLO DOLLY (47A. Child's toy in the shape of a Shakespeare character?); JOHN MAYNARD KEYNOTES (64A. Headline about an economics conference); ROYAL FLU SHOT (84A. Booster for a king?); BLACK FOOTREST (7A. Dark ottoman?); and TROT OUT QUINTET (109A. Put five musicians on display?). It appears that puzzledom has not run out of overtime!
