Top Bun
Puzzle Notes
Dear Friends,
It's been over four years since I've been to the movies, but if there’s one thing that’ll get me back in that Imax theater, it’s: “Top Gun: Maverick.” The “Top Gun” sequel has broken box office records, probably because it appeals to young and old alike.
Fast jets, aircraft carriers, bars with jukeboxes, beach volleyball – I want them all! I plan to sneak off to the theater on a weekday morning and catch the earliest show (as many New Yorkers do, I've come to learn) and immerse myself in the "top gun" world.
As an homage to Tom Cruise’s box office success, we present a high-carb crossword that’ll keep you fueled and pumped, should you decide to jet off to the theater and catch the show. Grab your aviator shades and prepare for takeoff!
Welcome to Week 575 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve “Top Bun” as your puzzle of the week.
Thank you for solving, subscribing and re-upping. Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
