Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I count two transliterations today, in proximity, that can go by more than one spelling. I had “tsarinas” here before I remembered John MCCAIN at 1A, which gave me the correct CZARINAS. In The Times, the stylebook requires “cz,” but the puzzle has used 72 “tsarina” references, compared with only seven to “czarina” (singular and plural). Both CZARINAS and ROYALLY return after multi-decade absences, so be sure to wave.
