puzzle #21: themeless sixteen


Inspired by the grid from the New Yorker earlier this week, this puzzle was a fun exercise in using up some 7-letter entries I’ve been sitting on (1-Across and 65-Across in particular). I hope this puzzle inspires more constructors to add NDP to their wordlist, though maybe that’s the Canadian in me talking.

Enjoy!
