Discuss word games, puzzles, and The Atlantic's Puzzler in our online forum. Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon may drop by from time to time.They say that breaking up is hard to do—and you can decide if that’s true in this puzzle. Each Across answer comprises two shorter elements whose letters interlock without changing their order. For example, FORESIGHT has FOES and RIGHT intermingling but in sequence; likewise FRIENDLY has FIND and RELY. Break each Across answer into two such parts, and enter them in either order in their Across row. Down answers are normal and may be used as guides. Twelve clue answers are capitalized; one new Across entry is hyphenated and another is a capitalized two-word phrase.
