    THE WORLD’S MOST ORNERY CROSSWORD

    Apr 30, 2020 5 minutes
    BY VICTOR FLEMING

    CHOICE WORDS

    The crossword on this and the next two pages has two independent sets of clues: “Hard” and “Easy.” First, fold this page back on the dashed line so the clues below face the solving grid on page 69. If you use only the Hard Clues (appearing below and continuing under the grid), you’ll find the puzzle uncommonly challenging. If you want help, or prefer a less severe challenge, open to the Easy Clues (tucked in beneath your fold on page 68).

    HARD CLUES

    ACROSS

    1 Disbursed

    8 Car ad abbr.

    12 NYPD alerts

    16 Move to act

    23 Automaker Maserati

    24 Slurpee rival

    25 Rotten

    26 Beyond stupid

    Classroom do-overs
