Will Nediger’s New York Times crossword–Amy’s recap

NY Times crossword resolution, 10 28 22, no. 1028

Lovely stair-step stack in the midst of this 70-worder, with a BURNER ACCOUNT, CINNAMON TOAST (don’t burn it), and a ROOKIE MISTAKE intersecting good fill like AMATEUR NIGHT and DISCO ANTHEMS.

Other fave fill: “I CAN’T LOOK,” LIFE HACKS (right here’s one for you: If your banana resists peeling from the stem finish, simply poke a thumbnail within the different finish and peel it from there–Americans are bizarre in insisting on the stem finish), RUBBISH, Carl LINNAEUS, and BLOW A FUSE.

New to me: 16A. [Symbolic hand gesture in Hinduism], MUDRA. Looking it up … Oh! That’s acquainted sufficient, simply by no means knew the time period for it.

Four stars from me.
