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

1 Miles Archer’s partner
9 Laertes’s sister
16 Ivory tower inhabitant

25 Trial balloons
26 More allegro than lento
