Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The first letter in these entries was the last square I filled in, so I ended my solve on a charming note. “What a helicopter might fly out of?” makes use of a botanical definition of “helicopter,” the whirligig seedpod of a MAPLE tree, also known as a samara. The clue for 22D is brief and straightforward, but it still sneaked up on me: “Buff,” in this puzzle, means a fan with expertise in a subject, or a MAVEN.
