I Would Caulk 500 Tiles

See 14 Down. Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House (Jan. 2024)

Words: 40 (11×11)

Average Length: 5.15

The seeds for this midi were 20 Across (for giving new meaning to “political science”) and 5 Down.  The latter came about because a couple of days ago, I heard an achingly beautiful cover by Kelly Clarkson, which you can listen to here.  (I couldn’t resist the title, which is a mash-up of 5 Down and 15 Across.) 

I know that politics is creeping into my clues, but with the creeps currently in charge of our country, I feel justified in shooting metaphorical barbs from time to time.

Who Rocks the Alex Trebek Stage?

Words:  45 (12×11 grid)

Average Length:  4.80

Difficulty:  Like a $600 question in the Shakespeare category

Serene, just like the subject of this puzzle

While the Professors’ Tournament gives her a two-week break, I thought I’d drop a tribute puzzle focusing on 21 Across, who is brilliant, accomplished, serene, and truly inspirational.  May her reign continue!
