Crossword 271: A Plus

William Powell Frith, A Dream of the Future
William Powell Frith, A Dream of the Future

Only after I gave this puzzle its title did I remember having already made a crossword called “A Minus” (Crossword 005). Someday soon I’ll construct a puzzle and find, to my horror, that it’s exactly the same puzzle—in theme, grid, fill, and clues—as the one I constructed last year, or month, or week.  And when that happens I’ll put an end to this website at last and turn to my other lifelong dream—mastering the accordion.
