Crossword 296: R & B

February 10, 2024 David Bywaters

Edward Burne-Jones, The Rose Bower


I was going to use this title for one of those fun puzzles in which the theme answers are two-word phrases, each word of which begins with each of two letters—but they’re so hard to make!  After hours of meditation, I managed to think of “rubber bullet,” “rex begonia,” “retail banking,” and “rock bottom.”  But then I couldn’t think of a fifth, and it turned out these four were all different lengths, so that I couldn’t fit them in a grid.  So I just gave up and made this puzzle instead.
