Hints for the July 22 puzzle
Not ready for the full answer? Here are lighter, spoiler-free nudges for that day's grid, above the solutions. The July 22 Thomas Joseph Crossword was a compact 11×13 of about 50 clues, and King Features pitches every day the same — a Wednesday grid is no harder than a Monday one. Clues are straight definitions rather than wordplay, so if one stalled you it was almost certainly a reference rather than a trick: the puzzle's vocabulary leans classic, and older film, song and geography answers turn up often. Count the squares, take the crossings you already have, and reveal the answers above only for the entries that stay stuck.
