As an addendum to yesterday's salute to the crossword puzzle in Toobworld, the last new episode of 'CSI' for this year was entitled "19 Down" and showed a crossword puzzle that Gil Grissom had not finished before he tossed it in the trash can. (Only the answer for 19 Down had not been filled in.)Anyone want to take a stab at what the answer could be?
BCnU!

Trick, since I think he's got some wrong unless all sorts of odd words are allowed (Clintlaanes or 'Clint Laanes'? I don't think so). Certainly, there's no obvious word that could fit EM_E unless it's a proper noun or an abbreviation.
ReplyDeleteBut, S (SOLUTE), T (TRENDS), A, _, E (SPELICANS) and then D, L, M, O or P (HELD, HELL, HELM, HELO - slang for helicopter - or HELP) gives STARED and STATED.
Can't think of any others
I doubt anyone will ever see this, but I'm throwing in with 19-down being "Vaanel", the worlds largest website for deviant art. After piece-mealing together the intersecting words, it seemed there was a trend toward Scandinavian words (emne = object, arends first steam locomotive in the Netherlands) or names (clint laanes - apparently Laanes is a common name)and spelicans = spillikins = spellekens, Dutch for splinters)as solutions, after that, it was random substitution of words/themes of similar origin. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think. Thanks for visiting!
