ALL-INSPIRING, Puzzle by Yaakov Bendavid
Edited by Will Shortz
If a puzzle has a title, it usually has some relation to the composition. In the case of this plodding Sunday crossword, it is difficult to determine what qualifies as “all-inspiring”:
THE ROYAL WHEEL (23A. Prince’s pottery equipment?), pun on “the royal we”
DO NOT PASS GOAL (104A. Stop proceeding in the maze when you reach the end?), “Do not pass Go.”
ICE CUBE TRAIL (3D. Strategy employed by a Siberian Hansel and Gretel?), “ice cube tray”
DUEL AS I SAY (11D. Fencing coach’s pronouncement?), “Do as I say.”
GREEN BALE PACKERS (14D. Haymakers?), “Green Bay Packers”
GET OUT OF THE WHALE (36D. Advice to Jonah?), “Get out of the way.”
I TOLD YOU SOLE (58D. “Waiter, we ordered the fish!”?), “I told you so.”
HEAD TO TOLL (67D. Approach a thruway booth?), “head to toe”
