The crossword on this and the next two pages has two
independent sets of clues: “Hard” and “Easy.” First, fold this page
back on the dashed line so the clues below face the solving grid
on page 69. If you use only the Hard Clues (appearing below and
continuing under the grid), you’ll find the puzzle uncommonly
challenging. If you want help, or prefer a less severe challenge,
open to the Easy Clues (tucked in beneath your fold on page 68).&Ǔ%Ȱȳǟ*6ǝǟǟ
First, we collected 50 movie titles that all fit the pattern
and , such as Romeo and Juliet and Dumb &
Dumber. Then, we removed all the ands (and
ampersands), and alphabetized the remaining words
to create the list you see below. If you really know your
movies, you’ll have these pairs reconnected in no time.
