Crossword by: Samuel A. Donaldson
Friday’s theme: If Samuel had his way the puzzle would have been x-rated as indicated by 59 Across but thanks to some editing we now have a kid friendly g-rated puzzle. Each of the themed answers would typically end with an ‘x’ as the last letter but now for safe viewing these have been changed to a ‘g’. These are: sin tag, brazilian wag, oedipus reg, chicken pog and margarita mig.
