This month's word seemed to provide an interesting challenge after last month's definition-heavy competition, with some interesting definitions being used. Some, I thought, were inaccurate, such as those involving "caveman" (which defines something else – and a spelunker is not necessarily a man). Also, those referring to the "underground", or to somebody moving downwards, I dit not consider for points, as caves may be above ground. That said, 28 and 37, while falling into this category, do have lovely surfaces.
Points to:
5: 41 – Very amusing and concise.
4: 17 – A wonderful surface; I very nearly disregarded this clue due to not being aware that "stupid" can also be a noun. A good reminder that we should always check what appears to be an incorrect usage, lest we do a disservice to a clue.
3: 13 – Nice pop-culture reference and a good definition.
1.5: 35 – Nicely misleading but perfectly fair.
1: 14 – A witty cruciverbalist context.
0.5: 43 – Like the use of Lascaux. |
