(Ooh! A great stinker to end the work week! A lot to like in this puzzle. We have another new clue word, in “sphinx”. The world famous clue word database of ralis95 will need to be updated yet again. And, all of the jumbles came up as new, for me. Lots of nice letter groupings in the clue words too. Makes my job a little easier. The answer letter layout was a dandy. Very nicely cryptic. And, the cartoon makes you think you’re back in the early ’60s, in the beatnik scene, with all the turtleneck sweaters! At first, I thought the one reading had on Mickey Mouse ears, but I figured out it was a beret. Tons of fun! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Gotcha! The first word on 3/13/15 could have been anear or arena! Messed me up for a few minutes!!!
Technically, you are correct, Michele. But, I think David L. Hoyt is still safe, as the word comes up as “archaic”. Did you recently finish reading one of the works of William Shakespeare? Or, maybe some Romantic poet?

Hahaha! I was thinking ANEAR, also, but did not know it was archaic. A British accent kept bouncing around in my head a bit, and now I know why. For some reason OUTLAW was difficult for me. I think my 2 day sinus headache has made me a bit slow at Jumbling today!
Add me to the ANEAR group as well. So what if it’s obsolete? Verily it doth repose in my computer’s Win95-era dictionary.
LOL! I guess I keep forgetting how well read Unclerave’s Wordy Weblog readers are! — YUR 😉
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anyone say “anear” in my lifetime. I think we’re safe with the not ordinary category.
May have heard it in a Shakespearean play, but definitely not outside of that. — YUR
