This puzzle was inspired by a Tweet that I caught on my feed a few months ago. When I saw it, I said, "BINGO, rhyme time puzzle right there!" I was happy to think of a third rhyme to round out the set and then this little puzzle fell into place. [SPOILER alert: here's that Tweet.]
I typically aim for these rhyme time puzzles to be pretty easy, so I thought I'd change it up and make this one a little more challenging. I think the fill is pretty fair, but there are more tricks and misdirects in the clues than usual. So, I'm calling this one hard but I think it's more of a fun, just past medium and less of a mind-bending hard.
Big thanks to all-star test solver Norah Sharpe for trying the puzzle and pointing me to a section that needed improving. I think this version is much better, thanks to her feedback.
Speaking of Norah and midi puzzles, after solving this one, you should go to her site for Bricks, a series of fun 9x9s (which are also available on the Redstone Crossword Puzzle app).
Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! Constructive feedback in the comments is always welcome.
