Puzzle uniqueness:
Words in which the first two letters are also roman numerals, so wacky definitions ensue... Example: VIEWINGS with the clue "Six members of a 'Dallas' family?"
Words I hadn't known until now:
OMRI - "Father of Ahab in the Bible"
Trivia I didn't know:
HIPS - "'____ Don't Lie' (2006 Shakira hit)"
ELLIS - "Designer Perry"
ENT - "Doc who might perform laryngologic surgery"
DRS - "H.M.O. V.I.P.s"
NRC - "Org. concerned with meltdowns"
ITD - "'___ be my pleasure"
Clever clues:
DUELS - "Pacer's engagements?"
SHAPE - "You might run to get in it"
ASSET - "It's no liability"
Obscure (i.e., really reaching) words:
OMRI - (See above)
MONOSKI - "Relative of a snowboard"
