other lazy dudes As a charter member, I was half watchin' the tube - 60 minutes (which Andy says is now down to 42 [minutes]). The middle piece (of their standard three piece suite [that's suite not suit]) was about the guy responsible for the NY Times crossword puzzle. It was a good story for anyone that's ever played any werdball. I liked the point where the guy admitted to being deliberately deceptive about the three letter "word" meaning "notable tower". Tower is a class A homograph, with the two meanings of one who tows or a tall slender building. Given the first meaning, the crossword answer is AAA. For other class A homographs like axes {plural of ax; plural of axis} invalid {cripple; erroneous} number {decimal ~; more numb} singer {one who singes; one who sings} sewer {storm ~; one who sews} along with tower {one who tows; leaning ~} and my favorite moped {brooded; fun vehicle} see rec-puzzles.org This is part of a werdball fan’s delight einstein.et.tudelft.nl that answers such pressing questions as “What plural is formed by switching the first two letters?” Answer: aflaj as in nizwa.net I noticed that mice elf didn’t make the oronym list even though new direction/nude erection did rec-puzzles.org . Just a lazy werdball day. lurqer
