This crossword had a definite phonological component. Check out “EZ on the Eyes” for ” Good-looking, briefly”, “QP Dolls” for “Oh-so-cute carnival prizes, briefly”, “CD Character” for “Risky person to do business with, briefly”, ” IC Streets” for “Winter hazards, briefly” and “SA Contest” for “Student writing competition, briefly”. Yeah, you get it.
New word: “Ecru” for Hose shade”, from the French for “raw” or “unblemished”, from the Latin “crudus”, meaning “raw”.
