About today’s puzzle
This is a tough, themeless Saturday puzzle with stacks of ten-letter answers in the corners. Many clues use everyday words in an unexpected sense, so it pays to read each one twice and think about other meanings. You will also find one clue written in Spanish and one with a question mark that signals wordplay.
