Free Association 33

Share the Grid!

I had a themed puzzle ready for you this week. I tell you I loved it! “Look at how clever I am,” I said to myself. I ran it past a couple of constructors I trust, and the best response I got was ‘meh.’ 

And so I killed it. Dead. In the trash heap. Never to be seen again. This I think is wisdom in a nutshell. Trust your instincts? Ok. Sure. Trust other people who you respect who have chosen to tell you an unwelcome truth? Yes. Definitely.

Instead, you get a Free Association puzzle. I like this one too. And I hope you will. Please let me know either way. Much love to you all. 

If you’d like to know what else I’m up to besides puzzles, I’ve been trying to get my piano chops back into shape. It’s cut into puzzle time, but it’s been restorative to my soul. Check out my newest recording here:

Now on to the puzzle:
