Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This is a classic classical entry, ARGOSIES, fleets of ancient vessels laden with valuables. I hope people don’t think of clues like these as fusty highbrow relics — I like it when there’s a wide-ranging mix, especially on a Sunday. There’s something to be said for trendy words; they make the tough puzzles fun to solve (and probably fun to create), and language is constantly evolving. When it comes to words, I confess to being a bit of a hoarder. It’s fortunate that we’ll never run out of space for more language, and it’s nice to extend some of its life span here.
