Description
The father and daughter duo of Brad Wiegmann and Nicole Wiegmann have teamed up to create a wonderful connect-the-dots-er-squares puzzle-within-a-puzzle. Elizabeth Gorski, an NYTimes contributor with a whopping 219 crosswords to her credit apparently pioneered this approach: and the Wiegmann opus is a fine addition to the oeuvre.
Besides the crossword, our investigative team is hot on the trail of the mysterious Janus-faced 55A. The answer was BUDICE, but the clue depended on where you read the crossword! We have no idea why, and Word Play does not shed any light on the matter. Where's Sherlock/Enola Holmes when we need him/her?
Show note imagery: The great, great grandfather/mother of today's image-embedded puzzle. Is it a DUCK, or a RABBIT?
