wordplay, the crossword column
Jack Scherban makes his New York Times debut.
By Sam Corbin
Jump to: Today’s Theme | Tricky Clues
MONDAY PUZZLE — Familiarity breeds contempt, but in the case of language, it also breeds apathy. As a words’ usage shifts over centuries, its potency also fades. This means that we, usually with women and younger generations leading the charge, must redraw the boundaries of what’s considered extreme or taboo. (Wordplay’s own Deb Amlen published a brief history of insults last year, in case you’d like to revisit some barbs from biblical and medieval times).
The fighting words that reveal the theme of today’s crossword — constructed by Jack Scherban in his New York Times debut — have been traced as far back as the 1930s. I don’t think I’ve ever used them. Instead, I avoid conflict altogether by deploying the most powerful defense mechanism of all: humor. Thankfully, Mr. Scherban has included a healthy dose of that stuff in his theme, too.
Today’s Theme
A trace of snark runs through Mr. Scherban’s clues for his theme entries at 20-, 31- and 38-Across, as though to prime us to come up with an “Unfazed response to a threat” (49A) from the figures therein.
The “Beatles album character who apparently is an infantry leader” — emphasis as clued — is SERGEANT PEPPER (20A). And a “Hotels.com mascot who must be a commanding officer” is CAPTAIN OBVIOUS (31A). We get a third military rank in COLONEL SANDERS (38A). And a witty response to a possible threat from any of these charactersmight be YOU AND WHAT ARMY (49A)?
Of the words in italics in the clues, Christina Iverson, a puzzle editor for The Times, said they were “a fun way to emphasize the goofiness of the theme.” Goofy, perhaps — but clever, too.
Tricky Clues
1A. When you see the word “it” or “it’s” at the top of a clue, you should assume that your entry solves for “it.” The answer to “It’s working!” is LABOR.
18A. The pictographic “dice roll” in this clue shows a single dot on each die. That outcome is known in gambling lingo as SNAKE EYES.
61A. “Swiss borders?” has that sneaky question mark, which indicates a pointed bit of wordplay. The entry is ESSES, because the letter S begins and ends the word “Swiss.”
5D. One who “Earns tons of money,” in a figure of speech, RAKES IT IN (and then jumps into a pile of it, I’d like to imagine).
25D. Writers often refer to the central story of a television series as its A plot — so the “Secondary story, in TV lingo” is a B PLOT.
33D. I love it when a constructor takes a chance with a debut entry. Here’s a wonderfully creative one: To “Travel from Kauai to Maui to Oahu, say,” is to ISLAND-HOP.
Constructor Notes
Hi! So, so, so excited to have my debut with The New York Times! I’m Jack, an incoming senior at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J. I built my confidence as a constructor by making crosswords for my school’s newspaper each week, and soon after I decided to try submitting my own to The Times. As a huge fan of the daily crossword, getting one of my own puzzles published was at the top of my bucket list. And — after a couple rejections, of course — here I am! I don’t exactly remember when I came up with this theme idea, but I had a great time coming up with the themed entries for this one (really wish I could’ve fit Major Tom in there, and sadly Captain Underpants was too long). While filling the grid with entries was mostly smooth sailing, I remember misspelling SERGEANT like “seargent” in my first draft of the fill, and needing to completely redo the grid when a friend caught my typo. I don’t know what it is about military titles, but “sergeant” and “colonel” have no business being that awkward to spell. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed solving my debut, and I’m confident that this will be the first of many, many more!
