The answer is not chicken. It doesn’t even taste like chicken. Unlike chicken, the answer is three words and it is nine letters long. With chicken you trash some of the outside (feathers, but not skin) and some of the insides (innards) before eating. You trash some of the insides after eating (bones.) I think the answer to one-across tomorrow is the correct one.

A Daily Sudoku for May 12th has an interesting feature. When all of the nine digits are not repesented in the group of numbers filled in from the start, the puzzle usually centers around where the first of those missing digits fits into the diagram. This usually occurs long into the solving process. In the case of today’s puzzle however, you can fill in a 5 as the very first number. Do you see where it must go? If the columns of the diagram are labeled A-I and the rows of the diagram are labeled a-i, what square must contain a 5? Identify the square by its column and row.

Riddles are an ancient type of puzzle with a history of magical power. All they require is language. Jesters entertained kings with riddles. Today’s puzzle is my first attempt at combining a riddle with a crossword puzzle. I hope you enjoyed solving this puzzle as much as this jester enjoyed creating it. The answer to the riddle will appear as 1-Across in Saturday’s puzzle.
When there is a word in the crossword puzzle that I want to remove, I look to see if there is a simple way to fix it. If not, I may resort to removing the offending word and any number of words around it. To refill this area in the puzzle I may use any one of a number of different word lists I have compiled thru the years. Sure enough, on my word list of, what I thought were, nothing-but-easy words was BESHREW. Not only that, I found BESHREWS and BESHREWED as well. I have removed those words so you won’t see them in my puzzles again; however, on second thought, I think I’ll create a crossword puzzle with a hidden animal theme beginning with BESHREWED.

Several people have pointed out the error in last Sunday’s A Weekend Crossword. I misread the answer word BESHREW as BESTREW. I had never heard of the word and should have removed it from the puzzle and from my word list. BESHREW is an obsolete word which, unless as a result of my error people start using it in conversation, will never appear in one of my puzzles again.
Very sorry,
Wayne

My comment is about the May 10th, puzzle, 54 across to be exact. The clue was “Unleashes” and the answer was “looses”. I just need you to use the word looses in a sentence, because I have yet to find it as a word anywhere.
