Happy Saturday! Gonna get right into a disclaimer:

This puzzle is best solved on the blog post applet (after the break), but there are .pdf and .puz files available if that's not an option for you. And, special thanks to Ada Nicolle for test-solving this week's puzzle!

Hope you enjoy,

PUZZLE #82: Themeless 22

PUZ
SOLUTION to the last puzzle

Happy 2021! Late for the first post of the year, but I got caught up with the Mystery Hunt (fun! great!) and registering for classes (meh). Some notes:

• Check out the new crossword feature at The Browser if cryptics are your vibe! I'm lucky enough to be one of the contributors, and the puzzles that have already come out are setting a high bar. 
• The 7xwords project is underway, and all the puzzles so far have been bangers. I'd be remiss not to point out this one and this one, which were especially fun
• Contribute to this form to help diversify wordlists!

Back to normal-sized themelesses; hope you enjoy the puzzle!
