New York Times Crossword Puzzle Review

This blog used to be solely dedicated to crossword puzzles but I have recently updated it and will be posting about a wide variety of topics.

But don't worry my love of crossword puzzles goes on and I will continue to post interesting crossword clues and news I find. Such as this clue from yesterday's (Mon June 22) New York Times Crossword puzzle.

21 across Mocking remark
_ _ _ _ JAPE
I moved through this puzzle pretty quickly until the very end when I hit this clue. I looked it up in the dictionary and it means to mock or make fun of. Now that I know the definition the clue seems easy! I'm writing this one down in my crosswordese file in case it comes up again. Do you think I'll be using this word in everyday conversation? In a pig's eye!

In a pig's eye means never by the way and it was also a clue in this puzzle. (18 down _ _ _ pig's eye) Speaking of eyes can you guess this clue.

46 down Cyclops feature
_ _ _ _ _ _ ONEEYE
