“Blue notes?” are, well, notes that are blue. I enjoyed the twin clue “Officer’s title” for both SIR and MA’AM.ĥ4D. The phrase “Hermès, par exemple” is in French, so the answer must be in French, too (DIEU).Ģ0D/64D. This clue, however, is about the Greek god. Say “Hermès” to me and I think bags and scarves. Did you fall for this one? “It’s no loss” sounds as if we are supposed to write in “win,” but in this puzzle the answer is TIE.ĦD.
I loved this clue, and after solving it, my brain read all of the remaining ones in the voice of Edna Mode, the quirky designer in “The Incredibles.” In the movie, the character delivers the famous quote “I never look back, dahling.
