Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Who among us did not have to look at their keyboard before thinking that [*, to a typist], would be “shift + 8?” I certainly entertained the notion of two non-alphabetical characters in the center entry of a puzzle by Ms. Bennett (who is, after all, one of the people who make the rules around here). Right idea, but the entry is STAR KEY, and maybe it’s old-fashioned of me to picture a standard keyboard, anyway. Did you know that STARKEY is [Ringo Starr’s original surname]? That’s how this entry was clued the only other time it appeared, in 1999.
