A nice clue from today’s Newsday Saturday Stumper, by Lester Ruff, 29-Across, four letters: “Sound of thinking.” No spoilers; the answer is in the comments.
The name “Lester Ruff” appears to be another pseudonym for Stan Newman, the Newsday crossword editor, though this name does not appear on a page explaining Newman’s pseudonyms. Lester Ruff = less rough. But this puzzle was difficult. And now done.

SANE.
ReplyDeleteI like this--clever and funny--but also, I like wondering,
ReplyDeleteReally, what would thinking sound like?
Like Rice Krispies in milk?
Bubbling mud?
Electric sparks?
Do different thoughts sound different?
Fun to think on. *pops some bubble-wrap*
I think of a large industrial ventilator of some sort, humming and clanking.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it but that's typical.
ReplyDeleteSound of thinking, like being of sound mind.
