SATURDAY PUZZLE — Grids at the end of the week are devised to challenge the solver, as we’re all painfully aware. But do we ever consider the poor constructor who takes on the challenge of challenging us? Tricky CluesI thought this grid was very elegantly clued; in addition to the several evocative entries, the two span entries were particularly excellent. As always, I relied on crosses to get a couple of names — RAPINOE and ROALD, which I should have known . I liked the cross of MALALA and MARTINA at the start as well as the clues for TEETIME and RATTLER, among others.
