Crossword 349: Strip Joint

February 21, 2026 David Bywaters

John Frederick Lewis, Veiled Egyptian Girl, Cairo


Don’t let the title frighten you: this crossword is, like all my crosswords, free from full or even partial nudity, in fact of “erotic” content of any kind, and appropriate for family solving. In fact, I cleanse various phrases that might have once had an impure implication and redirect them to innocent ends, for my aim as a constructor is and has always been to save the world from itself, one puzzle at a time.
