Difficulty: medium
I don't have much time today, so I'm doing just the highlights:
Across
1. A measure for hayseeds?
Took me a while to figure out measure stood for dance.
18. Naturally they have a shaky reputation as writers
The crosses eventually gave me "pens" for writers. But I was thinking of animals, not trees. Finally "as" jumped out at me.
21. A number put a match to the fuel
Did not know what lignite was, but I guessed the "L" out of the numeric options to put before "ignite". It is a brownish low-quality coal.
23. One is careful making them
Economies. I don't get it, and I'm out of time to figure it out.
Down
3. Dope put in the soup
I guess you can call a dope a "noodle". Slightly obscure for me.
That's all for today!
Explanations (and requests for explanations) for the Globe and Mail cryptic crosswords.
