Today’s Saturday Stumper

Today’s Newsday  Saturday Stumper is by “Anna Stiga,” Stan Again, or Stan Newman, the puzzle’s editor, constructing under one of the pseudonyms that signals an easier Saturday. It is an easier Stumper, though I had to check the online puzzle to make sure I had everything right. (See 54-D and 62-A.)

Some clue-and-answer pairs of note:

1-A, eight letters, “Picasso contemporary.” But shouldn’t only a last name in the clue require only a last name in the answer?

12-D, ten letters, “Handshakers’ surprises.” My second answer, and something I hadn’t thought of in years.

19-A, eight letters, “They come between start and finish dates.” Easy if you’re me.

22-D, six letters, “A Swedish ferry destination.” Um, okay.

26-D, ten letters, “Dickensian architect apprentice.” This answer helped a lot.

37-D, three letters, “Term first used for the Apple Newton (1992).” That term seems so long ago.

39-A, five letters, “Turns aside.” Obliquely clued.

42-D, seven letters, “Extra effort.” See 39-A.

46-A, four letters, “Dickinson’s ‘The Heart ___ Pleasure First.’” But if we follow the established text: “The Heart ___ Pleasure – first.”

54-A, eight letters, “Bath water source of yore.” That’s really yore.

54-D, four letters, “Short helper in gas stations.” Only one answer fits here, but I’m baffled. I just figured it out while typing that sentence.

62-A, eight letters, “Hacker inspired by Longstocking.” Likely a giveaway for many, but it had me baffled in the southwest.

My favorite in this puzzle: 47-D, five letters, “Void cited by Shelley.” Because my friend Rob Zseleczky would have liked seeing Shelley in the puzzle.
