CROSSWORD #1115: Double Team

DOUBLE TEAM: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF] 
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

Shout out/tip of the cap/raise of the beer can/all fucking three to Tyler Hinman for the germ for this here theme. Cheers buddy. Not only are you a hero of mine, but I'm happy to lift ideas from your Twitter feed for my own personal gain. (Spoilers, obviously. Don't click unless you're into that sort of thing.) Anyway, Tyler, I appreciate it. Let me buy you a beer at the next American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.

Reminder that the year-end drive is under way. Short pitch says: the site will always be free, but if you can tip, I'll be your best friend forever, and I'll send you two bonus puzzles as a thanks. Suggested $15 tip thru PayPal and Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. You can always email me and work out something else. Thanks to all who have given.

Long-form appeal is here.

Holiday gift guide? Here.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
