The WORD is Out!

Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Crossword Industrial Complex, located high atop a nondescript 15x15 structure somewhere between Columbia University and Zabar's (whose cinnamon babka is the Official Babka of Crossword Nation).

Today we bid farewell to last week's earth pyramids and Russian space flights, as they disappear from the rearview mirror. Road trip! We're on the move to new territory -- a more Tuesday-ish Tuesday puzzle. To avoid the dreaded revealer, we call upon the title to do the heavy lifting.

Welcome to Week 574 of Crossword Nation. Submitted for your approval, we invite you to solve "The WORD is Out!" as your diversion of the week.

I hope that you enjoyed a peaceful Memorial Day Weekend. Thank you for solving, subscribing and re-upping. Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours, 

Liz
