Hi everyone! I'm from Woodcliff Lake, NJ, and soon to begin my second year at the University of Chicago, where I study philosophy. Other than crossword puzzles, my interests and hobbies include performing stand-up comedy, playing fantasy football, and making my own board games.
I'm not exactly sure where the idea for this puzzle stemmed from. At first, the theme only included the sound change in the answers, not the Boston-related clues. MISSING THE MOCK, for example, was just clued as "Late to the roast?" Though I had to cut a few theme answers I liked, I'm glad I could add in that second layer. I think PICK A COD ANY COD is my favorite theme answer for its evocative image. Some others that didn't make the cut include CRIMINAL AT LODGE and CREATIVES POCK.
My favorite clues I wrote are 18-Down, 54-Down, and 57-Down.
Finally, apologies to my brother Noah, the most avid New York Yankees fan I know, for such a Boston-centric theme.
Hope you all enjoyed the puzzle!
