Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Don’t assume that the entry for [Zap, in a way] will be the same from one puzzle to another. Last week, the same clue solved to “tase,” but the correct answer here is LASE. It’s a difference of one letter, which means it’s incredibly hard to spot the mistake in an otherwise complete grid. (That’s where crossings come in handy, because there’s no such thing as a [Lamp insert] called a “butb,” at 60D.)
