About a month ago, the New York Times crossword puzzle (the King of all crossword puzzles, according to many people) had several entries that were Beatles song titles:
clues:
14 across — Navy captain’s favorite Beatles song? (15 letters)
17 across — empty-nester’s favorite Beatles song? (15 letters)
35 across — Sexagenarian’s favorite Beatles song? (15 letters)
55 across — Author’s favorite Beatles song? (15 letters)
58 across — early riser’s favorite Beatles song? (15 letters)
***Answers will be forthcoming in a later post…***
(Interesting how many Beatles songs have 15 letters — spaces between words not included…)
I don’t know how to construct a crossword puzzle — no doubt there exists a program online that one can use (a brief search yielded nothing except stupid simple puzzle-making or software that was ridiculously complex). It would be cool to construct a crossword puzzle — a big sophisticated one like the New York Times has — where everything relates to the Beatles.
P.S.: I got them all and finished the puzzle!

a coffee dessert, yes you know it's good news...

Offline I found a Beatles crossword online if anyone’s interested.
EDIT: After coming back from actually doing it, I now realize that it’s very easy.

Offline Now that I’m home and on a different browser, I can see under the spoiler. These were rather easy, though.
