I hope you are feeling better soon. In the meantime, here are some clues for Saturday’s crosswords:
ReplyDeleteST1: Strengthen or weaken (6)
ST2: “Fire on impulse” conduit (4)
ST3: Supposedly in the capacity of returning terrorist organization (5)
LAT2: Dalmation count nearly cut in half by a protozoan propulsion system (5)
LAT3: Love takes a ton for an ounce (3)
LAT1: Jupiter appears anew as pentangle rejects symbol of brightness (3,6)
Got 5 out of 6 (maybe 4-3/5).
ReplyDeleteLAT1: Jupiter appears anew as pentangle rejects symbol of brightness (3,6)
An anagram minus neon, nice.
LAT2: Dalmation count nearly cut in half by a protozoan propulsion system (5)
101 + 51 + A. Nice.
LAT3: Love takes a ton for an ounce (3)
I can make several words from this, OAT, ATO, TOZ, but none match anything in either puzzle.
ST1: Strengthen or weaken (6)
The first definition was easy, the other for moderation was a little bit harder to parse as weaken.
ST2: “Fire on impulse” conduit (4)
Nice charade! Fire when you see the whites of their -- choppers?
ST3: Supposedly in the capacity of returning terrorist organization (5)
Get the direct and first half. The terrorist org I don't see unless you mean the Islamic State.
