Wednesday, November 4, 2009 Puzzle by Ricky Ini Liu, edited by Will Shortz In this odd Wednesday crossword, Trix cereal, xenophobic, X-Men comics, Federal tax, X-rated movie and boxing match each have the letter X replaced with the letter O resulting in TRIO CEREAL (18A. Three-ingredient breakfast serving?); OENOPHOBIC (24A. Afraid of wine?); OMEN COMICS (53A. Foreboding cartoons?); FEDERAL TAO (60A. The way of the government?); ORATED MOVIE (3D. Film that’s been speechified?); BOOING MATCH (26D. Shout of disapproval exactly like another?). The corresponding entries sharing the letter O are all incidental -- CHO, INTRO, CLEO, STOOD, AMOR and ORA.
