Kind of Test - News Summed Up

Kind of Test


But if you look at the revealer at 58A, clued as “Kind of test … and a hint to a word hidden three times each in 16-, 22-, 38- and 48-Across,” the answer is MULTIPLE CHOICE. The reason that the revealer is MULTIPLE CHOICE is because Mr. Haight has found a set of theme entries that have multiple ORs in each of them. Constructor NotesParadoxically, in a puzzle about lots of choices, theme entry lengths of 14, 14, 14, 11, 11 left me scrambling for options to make this work. I emailed the idea to Will on a Sunday evening, and he wrote back an hour later: “Thanks for the turbo-boosted version of your MULTIPLE CHOICE puzzle. If you had to check the reviews to find out the theme, I suspect you’re not alone.
